Toronto, 1899. At the dawn of a new century, ambitious young politician Mackenzie King (Beirne) dreams of becoming the Prime Minister of Canada. At the top of his class at the Dominion School of Nationhood, King’s prospects are good and his clairvoyant Mother (Negin) has already chosen his future wife, the Governor-General’s militant daughter, Lady Ruby Elliott (St-Laurent). But when King loses his bid for both leadership and the hand of Ruby to the heroic Bert Harper (Ahooja), his world is thrown into a chaos of maudlin outbursts and compulsive masturbation. Based upon the neurosis and confusions recorded in Mackenzie King’s diary, Matthew Rankin’s The Twentieth Century walks an ambiguous line between historical biopic and speculative fiction. Filmed in studio on 16mm in with animated sequences, it is at once an epic melodrama, a fulminating satire and a hallucinogenic fugue-state.
Two sisters living separate lives on different continents are reunited on a Mediterranean Island. The two barely have time to bond and revive family ties as Kate, the elder, meets a group of locals and agrees to an exciting ride on a hot air balloon. But disaster strikes and as the result of a freak accident, the balloon is carried far out to sea. Their cell phones out of range, and the balloon running out of gas, Kate and her friends are battling for their lives. While, back on land, the younger sister, Liz, has become an unwanted "material witness" to a crime. Matters then take a dramatic twist, one that will mark their lives forever.
