- Synopsis
- Rashid, a doctor from Syria, struggles to adjust to his life in Canada after five years in Toronto’s Thorncliffe Park with his wife Farah and son Ammar. He tries to work as an unlicensed doctor for his neighbours, but when Farah becomes more involved in their local community, tensions in their fragile marriage begin to take their toll. Concrete Valley mixes fact and fiction in this intimate snapshot of Toronto’s Thorncliffe Park, and the domestic realities of its residents, by director Antoine Bourges (Fail to Appear, 2017, East Hastings Pharmacy, 2012).
