Abstract:

Axel Thorstad was once a popular teacher who now lives in retirement and mourns the recent death of his wife. He advertizes as a tutor and meets the indomitable Mrs. Montana, who hires him to coach her TV-actor son Travis for his school exams while he shoots a show in Hollywood. Life in L.A. is far removed from his isolated life in rural B.C., and soon Thorstad finds himself caught up in the drama of his young student's life, and the return of an old flame. Some descriptions of sex and violence, some strong language. 2010.
