VINTERBOJ (SE) / WINTER BUOY (EN)
In a frozen mid-winter Toronto, a group of nurses are fighting to give vulnerable homeless pregnant women the possibility of a new life with their newborns. Winter Buoy is a poetic and rough exploration of hope and trust, and of the individuals behind the faces many of us choose not to see.
