Geraldine's Fortune

It was directed by John N. Smith, written by Tim Burns and based on the play Les Belles-sœurs by Michel Tremblay.

Geraldine Liddle (Curtin) is a small town woman from New Brunswick who gains local fame as she is about to appear on a game show called Bring Home the Bacon (a show with a pig theme similar to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?)

After the question is asked, the scene turns back to the home where the fight is happening outdoors and where only Geraldine's elderly mother, who has less than her full faculties, is left alone, inside near the phone.

Geraldine, realizing the senility of the woman, doesn't know whether to trust her answer.

Geraldine and her husband return to announce whether she answered the question correctly or not, only to discover long buried family truths have come to light.
