| Summary: | Timothy Heppner is a frustrated ghostwriter struggling to make ends meet in Edenfeld, a small Mennonite community bulldozing its way towards modernity. If it's old, it has to go! A member of the Preservation Society but desperate to keep his job with the mayor's Parks and "Wreck" department, Timothy finds himself in an awkward position when he is hired to write an updated version of the town's history book. Fuelled by two warring agendas, the threat of personal bankruptcy and a good deal of fried bologna, Timothy must find his own voice to tell the one story that could make or break him. Honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Once Removed explores the real costs of "progress" in this new Canadian classic. |
