NOTES
Title from title frames
Blaise and Nessa are outcast methadone users in their small town. Each day they push a rusty lawnmower door-to-door begging to cut grass. Nessa plots an escape, while Blaise lingers closer to collapse. Tethered to one another, their getaway dreams are kept on a suffocatingly short leash. Nominated for Best Canadian Feature Film at the**Toronto International Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. "*By means of ferociously intimate images, tensely controlled performances, and a spare sense of drama, Ashley McKenzie’s first feature, about two young drug addicts in Nova Scotia, conjures a state of heightened consciousness.*" - Richard Brody, **New Yorker**
