PACKING ONCE AGAIN

We are packing. YES AGAIN! We are leaving for Toronto tomorrow as we have a wedding there. It is hubby’s cousin’s grandson. The couple lives in Japan. I think they got married there so just came here for a reception. We will drive back on Sunday afternoon.
While there we will visit with hubby’s sister and brother, my sister without her husband, my daughter and probably her boyfriend and my cousins. So we will be BUSY!!!!!!!
Today is a cloudy, warm and dull day. I was up early. I already did a load of washing. I like everything clean before I pack.
I have to make an appointment for a haircut and manicure.
I have some other calls to make so will do that after this entry.
I will go swimming at 11. The pool is not free until then.
Tonight we will go out for supper and then the women are going to see another Israeli movie MELTING AWAY.

SYNOPSIS:

 

Melting Away is a story about family. Parker Hendrikson, a teenager from suburban Toronto, has been kicked out of his family’s house because his homophobic father Theodore, cannot handle the “embarrassment” and the shock when they discover their son’s penchant for cross-dressing.

 

The story fast forwards a few years and Parker is now Cheyenne, a drag queen diva performing at Toronto’s best gay club, The Pole Vault, which is run by T-Bonz, Cheyenne’s boyfriend.

 

One day, Cheyenne meats Davis, a private investigator who has been hired by Katherine Hendrikson (Parker’s mother) to find her son and inform him that his father is dying of cancer and that she would like to reconnect.

 

At first, Cheyenne is unwilling to even speaking to her parents and hold a deep resentment for them throwing her out on her ear when she was a teenage boy living in their house. Her curiously gets the better of her and she decides to dress up as a nurse and begins to visit her father daily.

 

As Nurse Annie, Cheyenne develops a new side to their relationship. She tries to gain some closure with her father, the way she was not able to as Parker. Theodore senses a strong bond between them and eventually is able to let go of his pent up emotions and inch closer to the relationship he wished he had and so desperately regrets abandoning.

 

One day, Victor, Theodore’s brother is visiting the hospital and stumbles upon some information that reveals Nurse Annie’s/Cheyenne’s original identity and tries to derail the progress that Cheyenne is making with Theodore.

 

All the while, Katherine keeps asking Davis when she will be able to see her son again and to set up a meeting, not knowing that the nurse who has been caring for her husband, is actually their son.
