Synopsis: Adam and Zooey have been unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for 7 months, then end up pregnant after a rape. Unsure of the parentage of their child, they decide to have him anyway.
Full summary: Adam (Tom Keenan) and Zooey (Daria Putteart) have been unsuccessfully trying to get pregnant for seven months. At wit’s end, they decide to detoxify, de-stress and go to the country to keep trying. Their relaxing time away turns to mayhem as they are set upon by a band of drunken young men who beat them up, and rape Zooey in front of Adam. As the distraught couple attempt to recover, they discover Zooey is pregnant. Unsure of the parentage of their child, they decide to go through with the pregnancy, use it to heal, and raise the child as their own – no matter what. Zooey is nonplussed, and uses the pregnancy to heal from her trauma. But Adam, who is sure the child has been spawned by a rapist, is haunted, and eventually driven to extremes.
“Bold, raw and unforgettable. A gritty, fearless, emotionally devastating experience”
Sam Hagenlocher, The Uniter
“Gripping… The opening ten minutes of this film are a harrowing brush with evil.”
Aaron Graham, Uptown
“Intimate and emotionally real”
Alison Gillmor, CBC

ASSU Scholarship Workshop
| February 25th, 2009 | ||
| 4:00pm | to | 6:00pm |
Students are digging deeper and deeper into their pockets to pay for tuition. Many work a number of jobs to help them foot the bill. Sometimes students find it difficult to find scholarships, and even if they do, they are not always sure how to apply for them.
What do scholarship committees look for in an application? How do you write an effective personal statement? Where do you find scholarships?
The ASSU Scholarship Workshop will help answer these questions, and other questions you might have when applying for scholarships on and off campus.

Speakers:
Prof. Susan Howson – Vice-Dean Undergraduate, Faculty of Arts and Science
