While a student at the University of Toronto, Peter decides to spend a summer working abroad, finding a job at a hotel in London, England. Already feeling that he is living his life in bus stations and temporary apartments, the time he spends in London is ghostly - a goodbye waiting to happen. When he returns to Toronto, the people he knew in London echo within him, especially Anne, who more than anyone, slipped behind his defenses and challenged him to hold her, and hold life, as though it meant something. Set in 1990s London and Toronto, Festival is about living your life, instead of watching it slip away.
