The Great Canadian Puberty Rite

This lyrical film diary chronicles a westward “pilgrimage” Stephen made, together with her partner John Cressey, at the end of her studies in Montreal, in the summer of ’74. As she contemplates the impetus for the journey, her camera surveys a variety of side-of-the-road attractions, snowy mountain vistas, and grassy knolls studded with cheerful fellow roadtrippers.
