The Tale of Teeka 1998

Directed by Tim Southam

Returning to the now abandoned family farm, a man’s memories of his past resurface. Seen through the eyes of his younger self, Maurice’s most vivid memory is of his friendship with Teeka, his pet goose, and the sole refuge this provides from a violent relationship with his parents. As Maurice and Teeka escape deeper into a fantasy world inspired by Tarzan comics, the goose realizes that beneath all the play lies a dark universe from which neither he nor Maurice will be able to escape. Based on the book by Michel Marc Bouchard.
