built 654 days ago
Mining has been historically critical to Nova Scotia. Coal was extracted principally in the Sydney–Glace Bay area of Cape Breton Island, but the mines closed in 2001. Gypsum, barite, and salt are mined. The decline of mining has increased the importance of fishing to Nova Scotia. Fleets operate on the continental shelf, especially on the Grand Banks, and farther out to sea, although years of overfishing have now led to serious cutbacks in production. Lobster, scallops, and haddock are the biggest catches.

Seymour plays a gruff, reclusive scientist who is researching wild horses. Her nephew comes to live with her after a major car accident that killed her sister's family. The movie, which made its debut at the recent Toronto Film Festival, shows how these two resistant participants find love and understanding in their attempt to live alone on an island.
