Danceland Diary
“Maybe happiness just takes practice. I feel my face lift from grief into the unfamiliar shape of happiness. Happiness seems attainable. Concentrate on that.”
Luka and her sister Connie are the inheritors of a secretive and disturbing family history going back three generations to the disappearance of their great-grandfather. Set in the seductive beauty of rural Saskatchewan with a backdrop of the drug-fueled Downtown Eastside of Vancouver and the horrific pig farm murders, Luka’s quest for her mother, and for peace and love, is a disquieting, moving, and thoroughly engaging examination of intergenerational trauma, family ties, and forgiveness.
