A Touch of Grey

[1][2][3] It is a coming of middle age film as four high school friends reuniting after 25 years, each facing a crossroads in their life as they ask themselves, "Is that all there is?"

With hopes of recapturing the optimism and enthusiasm she once had, Barb rents out a hotel suite to reunite with her former high school friends — Patti, Karen and Liz.

Patti, a perky, but not so bright wife and mother, is excited to escape her domineering husband for a weekend.

In an attempt to break from the ties to the lives they have left at home, Patti and Barb hide each other's cell phones- freeing themselves for one night.

The interrogations from Barb and Karen are interrupted by the arrival of LIZ, a newly divorced, single mother and career woman.

Barb and Patti are shocked to learn that Karen has no intention of leaving her marriage despite her husband's continuing adultery.

Patti decides she is no longer taking advice from Karen and storms out to return to the bar in search of her 20-year-old.

As the hours pass, Barb, Liz, and Karen settle their differences over the contents of the hotel mini-bar.

The film had a small budget but was able to draw known Canadian actresses in part due to an incentive program at ACTRA.
