Suze

Directed by Dane Clark, Linsey Stewart
Canada
2023
93 mins

When her only daughter leaves for college, Suze, a single mom who has lost her purpose, gets stuck taking care of her daughter's heartbroken ex-boyfriend who she can't stand. On her journey of self-discovery, Suze discovers what living purposefully really looks like, while making an unlikely bond along the way.

Directors Linsey Stewart and Dane Clark (a real-life couple) deliver a funny and heartwarming comedy-drama, one that draws out laughs from very relatable circumstances on both sides of the generational gap about the unexpected friendships that help you become your true self.

Winner of the Best Canadian Narrative Feature Film, Calgary International Film Festival 2023.
