Shot in Toronto with Japanese and Canadian talents both on and off screen\, Toilet offers a tender exploration of family\, grief\, and connection.  \nRay (Alex House)\, a Gundam-obsessed engineer\, finds his quiet\, solitary life turned upside-down after the passing of his mother. He moves in with his reclusive brother Maury (David Rendall)\, once a brilliant pianist and now a victim of panic disorder who never leaves the house; his younger sister Lisa (Tatiana Maslany)\, a university student who tends to look down her nose at everyone; and his Japanese grandmother\, affectionally called “Baachan” (Masako Motai)\, who speaks no English. Through mishaps and shared memories\, they gradually rediscover what it means to be a family.\n \nFree admission. Register below. \nSupported by:  \n \n  \n\nDirector Profile: \n \nOGIGAMI Naoko\, born 1972 in Chiba Prefecture\, is a Japanese film director\, screenwriter\, and cinematographer. After graduating with a film production degree from the University of Southern California\, Ogigami returned to Japan and first began gaining attention after winning several prizes at PIA Film Festival for her short film Hoshino-Kun\, Yumeno-Kun (2001). Her first feature film\, Yoshino’s Barber Shop premiered at the PIA Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival in 2004\, winning awards at both.
