SYNOPSIS: In a tiny outport in Newfoundland's Bonavista Bay, ten-year-old Bayo awaits the return of his grandfather, Philip Logan, a legendary fishing captain, who is coming home to stay after 60 years at sea.

Bayo's mother, Sharon, wants to move to Toronto and leave their tiny village - "even the fish is gone."  But once ashore, Philip feels driven back to sea - on his own terms.  And Bayo wants to remain in Tickle Cove with his grandfather and mother.

As opposing plans clash against each other, all three learn to come to terms with themselves, with each other, and with their destiny.

EDITORIAL REVIEW:  A cute little film from Canada, eh!  Filmed entirely in Newfoundland, you may find the accents a little hard to understand at times (very similar to Irish accents) this gem is truly Eastern Canadian and well worth watching.  Stephen McGrath plays Bayo, the strong-willed, fatherless boy who yearns to stay in Tickle Cove, Newfoundland.  His equally strong mother, played brilliantly by Patricia Phillips, wants to leave this little fishing town and move to the big city.  With Sharon's strained relationship with Philip (her father, Bayo's grandfather), perhaps there is a hidden reason why she wants to leave and take Bayo with her?

A great piece of Canadiana from the mid-1980's!
