Show detail Hide detail

SNOW CAKE is a UK-Canadian co-production directed by Marc Evans and produced by Gina Carter and Andrew Eaton from Revolution Films and Canadian based producers Niv Fichman and Jessica Daniel from Rhombus Media. Alex Hughes, a quiet and reserved middle-aged Englishman trying to escape from his past, stops at a Northern Ontario diner on his way to see a woman named Rebecca. Rebecca is the mother of Alex's son whom he never met and who was tragically killed by a drunk driver. At the diner, Alex meets a young, laid-back, inquisitive, friendly and altogether unconventional nineteen year-old hitchhiker by the name of Vivienne. After much hesitation, Alex agrees to give her a ride to her hometown of Wawa. When the car is hit by a speeding truck on the outskirts of Vivienne's home town, the young hitchhiker dies instantly. For the second time in his life, Alex finds himself grieving for someone he never knew. His conscience draws him to seek out the hitchhiker's mother, Linda. Soon after meeting Linda, Alex discovers that her peculiar behaviour is due to her autism. The unpredictable chain of events leads him to get involved in Linda's life and form a relationship with her passionate neighbour, an independent woman named Maggie. Alex eventually becomes the object of scrutiny by the incompetent local police officer named Clyde, who, besides being jealous of Alex's relationship with Maggie, believes he has discovered a dark secret in Alex's past. When Alex finally leaves, he seems to have got rid of his inner demons, and the little Ontarian town he leaves behind has also been changed. <1h 52mn>
