Ukrainian Canadian Ted Baryluk runs a neighbourhood grocery in Winnipeg with his daughter in 1982. He talks about the range of ethnic backgrounds of his customers who are "mixed together, just like soup." He says he doesn't understand the First Nations people who come to the store. His daughter sees them as "immigrants."

Ukrainian-Canadian Ted Baryluk's grocery store has been a fixture in Winnipeg's north end for over twenty years. In this photo study, Ted talks about his store, the customers who have come and gone, and the social changes his multicultural neighbourhood has seen. But most of all he wonders what will become of his store after he retires. He hopes his daughter, Helen, will take over, but she wants to move away. The film is a wistful rendering of a shopkeeper's relationship with his daughter and a fascinating portrait of a neighbourhood and its inhabitants.
