Synopsis

Toronto, 1899.
Aspiring young politician Mackenzie King dreams of
becoming the Prime Minister of Canada. In his quest for power, he must face his imperious Mother, a war-mongering Governor-General and the utopian idealism of a Québécois mystic.

Meanwhile, King hesitates in love between a British soldier and a French-Canadian nurse and furtively indulges a fetishistic obsession for women’s footwear…

When his vainglorious run for leadership culminates in
an epic battle between good and evil, King will learn that disappointment may be the only way to survive the
20th century.
