Betty
In post-World War II rural Ontario, eight-years-old Alice and her sister move to a small cottage along a river next door to kindly Betty and her handsome and charismatic husband Fred. Before the summer is over, Fred has run off with another woman and Betty has suffered a breakdown. Years later, when an erratic Betty reappears in their lives, a teenaged Alice must come to terms both with the world's unfairness and with its mystery. A dramatic anthology series of six half-hour episodes based on the short stories of Margaret Atwood. Polarities, The Man from Mars, Death by Landscape, Isis in Darkness and The Sunrise are being shown in the Fipatel.
