Castle in the Ground

Henry, effortlessly played by Alex Wolff is the caretaker for his terminally ill mother (Neve Campbell). Henry's daily routine is to prepare his mother's medication by crushing up an OxyContin pill with a spoon, mixing it with jelly to dilute the heinous taste, and serving it to dull the intense and agonizing pain she's suffering through. Following his mother's death, Henry befriends his loud and troubled — yet charming — next-door neighbour, Ana (Imogen Poots). She's the only person in his life who isn't indulging his grief; she's simply there, across the hall, and trying to kick her habit just as Henry is developing his own. Together, they become tangled in the sordid web of indulgence that encompasses drug dependence. (Toronto International Film Festival)
