The Mother and the Bear (2025) (Drama) PG 13
director Johnny Ma
Thursday April 23rd at 11.00am – 100 min

“A film that will keep you warm during the dark days of winter”

Sara, travelling over 9000 kilometres, finds herself in the harsh, unfamiliar, and unforgiving environment of Winnipeg in the winter. A deceptively simple premise executed beautifully, filling the screen with gentle and warm humour while also balancing universal themes of hope, family and belonging. A uniquely charming and occasionally surreal comedy about one woman’s quest to discover more about herself beyond her role as wife and mother. At Cinefest Won: Outstanding Canadian Feature.
