The Heat Line

Robert Filion (Gabriel Arcand) hasn't seen or spoken to his father in years when he learns he's suffered a fatal heart attack in his Florida home. His mother asks him to travel to identify the body and drive back to Montreal. Robert arranges with his ex-wife for his son, Maxime (Simon Gonzalez), to accompany him. Though their trip south goes well, thanks to the kindness of a retired journalist (Gerard Parkes), their long drive back to Canada threatens to destroy their fragile relationship.
