Set in a run down town Canadian town, The Crackwalker focuses on the everyday happenings of Theresa, a mentally disabled woman with a reputation for promiscuity, and Alan, the sensitive, confused romantic who falls in love with her.

“Credit the director and the cast for finding so much humor-and humanity-amid so much grit….[they] strike the balance effectively between moments of comedy and poignancy.”
