Ethan Hawke was the well-known name that we were watching for here, and he didn’t disappoint. This was a surprisingly interesting story based on the folk artist Maude Lewis from Marshalltown, Nova Scotia. This looks like a crossroads, near Digby.
Maudie answers an ad placed by fish seller Everett, and ends up staying. She is fleeing a hostile family environment.
She starts painting, and bit by bit, paints her entire shack. She gains some fame, in part with a CBC documentary, but not enough to lift her from poverty and her tiny house.
