River is a lyrical evocation of those life-changing friendships of youth -passionate, all consuming and as brief as summer. Stan and Roz live in a small city on the Canadian prairies. Stan has just finished university and is working on a novel; Roz has a dead-end job and roams the city with her camera. When Stan and Roz meet, they help to nurture each other's artistic dreams and they discover what is possible - in friendship and in themselves.
