Synopsis

Tom Woolrich, age 42, father of three, husband, son and steelworker, liked his life just fine until “the system” yanked his job out from under him. Now Tom, emotionally paralyzed, has retreated to his lazy boy chair with his memories, his beer fridge and reel to reel of 70’s rock and roll to try to face his greatest fear: change. “..a humour that sets off the secret inner chuckle of self-recognition and discovery that cuts too deeply to allow a belly laugh. A brilliant script.” Hugh Fraser, Hamilton Spectator, Jan 24, 2000
