ABOUT CASTLE IN THE GROUND
Two lost souls befriend each other and grapple with the hard truths of addiction, in Joey Klein’s Castle in the Ground.
Across North America tens of thousands of people die every year as a result of opioid-related overdoses. Set in Sudbury, Ontario just as the crisis is taking hold, Henry (Alex Wolff) is the caretaker for his terminally ill mother (Neve Campbell). Henry’s daily routine is to prepare his mother’s Medic*tion by crushing an Oxyc**tin pill with a spoon, mixing it with jelly to mask the taste, and serving it to dull the intense and agonizing pain she’s suffering through. Following his mother’s death, Henry befriends his loud and troubled — yet charming — neighbour, Ana (Imogen Poots). She’s the only person in his life who isn’t indulging his grief; she’s simply there, across the hall, and trying to kick her habit just as Henry is developing his own. Together, they become tangled in the sordid web of indulgence that encompasses drug dependence.
