Victoria Day
Director, David Bezmozgis)

As the holidays approach, Canadian teenager Ben Spektor is living the dream: he goofs around with a Dazed and Confused cast of pals, counts the days until Bob Dylan comes to town and sees signs that his longtime crush might notice his existence. The unforeseen consequences of a five-dollar loan abruptly shatter his carefree lifestyle and force a choice between the sweet naivete of youth and the maturity of adulthood.
