Amar Wala’s Shook presents a portrait of early adulthood defined by quiet anxieties and the long train rides that bookend them. The film centers on Ashish (Saamer Usmani), an aspiring writer in his twenties whose post-graduate life lacks a clear direction. His cynicism about love is a shield, forged in the wake of his parents’ recent divorce and his specific discontent with his father.
His world is the commute between the suburban calm of Scarborough and the creative hum of downtown Toronto, a physical representation of his own in-between state. This delicate balance is disrupted by two events that pull him in opposing directions. A tentative romance begins with Claire (Amy Forsyth), a barista who sees past his guarded exterior.
Simultaneously, he receives news that his estranged father, Vijay (Bernard White), has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Shook immediately establishes itself as an intimate study of that messy,...

A European river cruise is less a vacation and more a cultural artifact. It represents a specific kind of American pilgrimage, a journey back to an Old World that exists now mostly in the imagination, promising a temporary escape from the relentless newness of the present.
Love on the Danube: Love Song floats directly into this stream of consciousness, presenting a ship gliding through the historical heart of the former Habsburg Empire as a stage for modern romantic negotiation. We meet Sarah (Nazneen Contractor), a woman so tethered to her professional obligations that her phone appears as a biological extension.
She embodies the contemporary crisis of perpetual productivity. Her foil is Jack (Wes Brown), a man who advocates for the radical act of simply being. They are, of course, on this floating sanctuary with their widowed parents, setting the scene for a multi-generational examination of connection in a place meticulously designed for it.
