- A film about an artist, his island, and his Jesus. The personality of profoundly spiritual Newfoundland artist Gerald Squires permeates this film - compassionate, yet brimming with ironic humour and intelligence. Sharpe focus close-up make his paintings come alive as they relate the Passion as a Newfoundland story. From a fisherman's cabin overlooking St. John's harbour, where Jesus and the disciples gather for the Last Supper, Squires' paintings - and the film - follow the Celtic Jesus through the stations of the Cross over the bogs and barrens of Newfoundland's harsh landscape, to his Crucifixion on a cliff overlooking the North Atlantic, to his miraculous Resurrection above the sea.
- Eliza Lewis is 100 years old. When she was 13, she left home on Fogo Island, Newfoundland and sailed to Patagonia on the southern tip of Argentina. By letters for decades, she kept alive her friendships, and to her great delight, on her 100th birthday her loving grand-niece announces she's off to Fogo to make sure that Eliza's friendships are confirmed in the flesh.
