Sixty Days
"Sixty Days" is a story about the interconnected lives of four city dwellers: James, a wealthy and violent psychopath; Michelle, a troubled schizophrenic office worker; "the Junglist," a retail clerk, and the prostitute the Junglist falls for, Corrine. Before he leaves the city, James throws himself four send-off parties. These parties serve as the event that bring the four main characters in "Sixty Days" together. After each party we follow a different character, seeing the most intimate details of their private lives. "Sixty Days" begins with the story of Michelle, a young alcoholic-schizophrenic who is obsessed with James. At one of James' parties, Michelle meets the Junglist, a scruffy and down-on-his-luck retail clerk. Michelle and the Junglist have a brief romance before Michelle rejects him because of her unrequited love for James. At another of James' parties, the Junglist meets Corrine, a prostitute who was brought along as a going away "gift" for James. Corrine and the Junglist quickly fall in love and develop a relationship that leaves the Junglist struggling to deal with Corrine's way of life. Meanwhile, Corrine descends further into a world of drugs, poverty and abuse at the hands of her ruthless drug dealer Pino. In the end the Junglist and a battered Corrine resolve to make their lives better - together. "Sixty Days" shows us the way people in a city can be at once interconnected and alienated. The film gives us an insight into the way different social classes - the rich and the poor - interact in an urban metropolis. "Sixty Days" is a low-budget, Canadian independent film produced by Sixteen Films Ltd. Shot on location in Toronto, Canada, "Sixty Days" is a dynamic ensemble piece that follows the interconnected lives of four young adults as they navigate relationships, careers and the dark streets of the big city.
