Description

Miles, a young theater actor from Toronto, arrives in rural Ontario at the home of Angus and Morgan, two aging bachelor farmers. Miles stays with the two farmers in order to gather stories about rural life and write a play abut it. All three of their lives are irrevocably altered when art attempts to imitate life and the line between truth and fiction is crossed.

"The Drawer Boy" is based on the play by Michael Healey and is one of the most produced plays in Canada and the U.S.A.

Although the clash between rural shrewdness and urban naiveté initially makes this film a comedy, the story ultimately evolves into a compelling drama of loyal friendship, lost love and abiding devotion.

"The Drawer Boy" was the winner of the Grand Prize Narrative Feature at the Heartland Film Festival 2017.
