Typically there are six screenings held at Ryerson on the last Tuesday of September, October, November, January, February and March.

Synopsis

Indíana Jónsdóttir lives in a large apartment block full of immigrants, whom she despises, and makes her living by preying upon the public welfare system. In her small private garden, she tends to her award-winning laburnum tree. When her only son turns up with a foreign girlfriend, Indíana’s world is upended.
