Dawn, Her Dad & The Tractor
Watch TrailerDawn returns home to Nova Scotia to mourn the death of her mother and repair the estrangement with her father, John Andrew. An ancient tractor becomes the focus for the mechanically-minded Dawn, but her father’s long-simmering resentments heighten tensions. Watching his daughter work to restore the tractor, he realises that reclaiming this relationship depends on his own coming out: supporting Dawn publicly and fighting malicious small-town transphobia.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a story of reconciliation on the delicate edge between personal grief and social prejudice, exploring the tractor not merely as a metaphor for repair but as the actual machinery that binds fractured lives. It relies on the quiet, expressive power of its performances, where every glance and pause carries profound weight.
What lingers after the credits is a deeply resonant feeling of fragile hope, a testament to the possibility of healing even the most corroded bonds. The stark Nova Scotia landscape becomes a silent, powerful character in this intimate drama. — MovieFinder Editorial
