See it as part of the Edmonton International FIlm Festival (EIFF) Friday September 26th @ 6:00 PM & Monday September 29th @ 2:00 PM at Landmark Cinemas 9 City Centre.

DANCING ON THE ELEPHANT... When Nora’s (Sheila McCarthy) son drops her off at Shady Rest Retirement Home, she’s pretty sure there's not much left to hope for. That is, until unfiltered firecracker Edna (Mary Walsh) wheels into her life and reminds her it ain’t over till it’s over. The pair kindle a friendship around a love of Fat Archies cookies, disdain for “Chair-xercise,” and Edna’s quest to escape the “fox farm.” Edna’s failing memory eventually lands her in the secure memory care wing, leaving Nora to plot one last grand adventure in hopes of reminding her friend there are still elephants left to dance on.
