The Old Homestead

Diplomacy... Is it a theatre stage?! Is there a point where you may discern diplomacy from the theatre. Feature Film "An Expats' Tale", settled in a diplomatic environment, build up on human relations where different cultures cope with harsh comic clashes which sometimes gets to discrimination, where small issues easily may become big dramas depending on the locals' or foreigners' different angles. This movie tells the story of Roshi, the small boy who during communism, while playing, his kite got stuck on a tree inside the foreign Embassy and he could never recover it... maybe so that when he would grow up, one day he could turn out to be one of their employees, work with the foreigners... and somehow, in a way following up his kite dream. But with an inherent problem: looking from far away and being inside it, is not the same thing, especially in different times. As many other Albanians, brought up in a dictatorship country, he saw foreign representations as the islands of freedom in Albania on that time, and even now! It is the professional and love story of the main charcater, making great choices in life when there is no guarantee of the outcome. And it is also the story of standing by your principles regardless of the repercussions. A story of belief and love, of intrigue and of betrayal, of hope and of disillusion. Confronting, thought provoking, heart breaking, a refine sense of humour, uplifting and sad, funny and moving.

Collage of dramatic scenes, some exaggerated to comic effect, with asynchronous sound from well known classic, operatic, and rock and roll music - with different approaches to love, suffering, and death.

In the small, predominantly working class town of Inniston, Ontario, Marc Hall is a high school senior with a promising future in his chosen career as lawyer. He is bright, well liked by his classmates and teachers, and quietly supported by his hard working parents, Audy and Emily Hall. He is also openly gay and attends St. Jude, a Catholic school. His cordial relationship with those in authority in his sphere of life is put to the test when he requests that his boyfriend Jason be his date to the graduation prom. That request is flatly denied by the school's hard nosed principal, Mr. Warrick. Despite seeing his prom as an important rite of passage, Marc refuses to go if he is denied this request. He is supported by his best friend Carly, who also refuses to go if Marc doesn't go. As such, Carly's boyfriend, Beau, mounts an online "support Marc" campaign with the help of the school's computer geeks. The online campaign and Marc's appeal to the Catholic School Board catches the attention of gay rights lawyer, Lonnie Winn, who takes Marc's case pro bono. The resulting media maelstrom causes further problems, for Marc's devoutly religious parents, within their relationships at work and more specifically at their church, and for Marc himself. Although Marc willingly signs on to the legal case in order to get what he wants, Jason may have a different view, he who was in the closet. And Marc himself may only be able to take so much - partly as lack of support from the school may jeopardize getting a scholarship, which he needs to attend university - as he just quietly wanted to attend the prom with his boyfriend with no muss or fuss.
