Firecrackers --
Film Description:
"Precocious newcomer Jasmin Mozaffari directs this bittersweet portrait of friendship and frustrated ambition, about a pair of Northern Ontario BFFs who dream of making it big in the city. Lou pumps gas at the local truck 'n' go, but dreams of one day escaping with her BFF Chantal to 'blow up' in the big city. Funny and brutally honest, Firecrackers paints a picture of small-town life filled with truckstop diners, deadbeat adults, and the teenagers who hope to escape from both."
