have a beer and cheap wine
Two boys (grown men in their 30's) are wanting an escape from their quiet lives in Cape Breton. They make a long journey riding in Joey's (Paul Bradley) car to Toronto. Pete McGraw (McGrath) knows of a relative living there. Having a preconceived notion he'll get to stay for free, not even thinking of writing out a letter first. Oh! learning the hard way is never good.
the locales that were used at the time 1969-1970 are all genuine. hostels, High rises, Wilson's Ginger Ale Factory, bowling alleys, TTC trains. Scarborough Bluffs, Sam the Record man (yep the same one at Dundas and Yonge St).
The tone throughout the movie is upbeat and at times melancholy. The viewer ends up or at least attempts to feel the emotions of the two friends who inevitably hit a crossroads with their friendship and lives.
