One winter night, shots ring out, and a bullet meant for a local drug dealer kills a child. In Frances-Anne Solomon's elegiac "A Winter Tale", In the aftermath, a Toronto social worker starts a Black men's support group, all patrons at Miss G's Caribbean Take-Away Restaurant, in an attempt to salvage their broken spirits and besieged community. A Winter Tale is set against the backdrop of a multicultural community's unrealized hopes and dreams. Bitter and tragic, funny and hopeful, the film tells a uniquely Canadian story that features Toronto as a central character.
