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.
