Join us for a special National Canadian Film Day screening of Toilet (2010), a heartwarming and quirky film directed by OGIGAMI Naoko. Shot in Toronto with Japanese and Canadian talents both on and off screen, Toilet offers a tender exploration of family, grief, and connection.

Ray (Alex House), a Gundam-obsessed engineer, finds his quiet, solitary life turned upside-down after the passing of his mother. He moves in with his reclusive brother Maury (David Rendall), once a brilliant pianist and now a victim of panic disorder who never leaves the house; his younger sister Lisa (Tatiana Maslany), a university student who tends to look down her nose at everyone; and his Japanese grandmother, affectionally called “Baachan” (Masako Motai), who speaks no English. Through mishaps and shared memories, they gradually rediscover what it means to be a family.
