A BICYCLE LESSON

When a young woman teaches her mother how to ride a bicycle she discovers a secret that has the potential to mend their fractured relationship.

SYNOPSIS:
When a phone call from home interrupts her fun weekend plans, SABRINA travels to the suburbs in order to visit her mother, RUBY.

A bi‐monthly endeavor that she does more out of obligation than desire. At the house, Ruby welcomes her impatient daughter with a home cooked lunch as well as a request: She wants Sabrina to teach her how to ride a bicycle.

Pressed for time, Sabrina begrudgingly obliges and together mother and daughter struggle through a bicycle lesson that becomes increasingly humourous as their personalities clash and frustrations increase.

But when Sabrina cuts the lesson short and returns the bicycle to the garage, she discovers a disturbing secret that her mother has kept from her. A secret that not only forces them to deal with their broken relationship but also has the promise to bring them closer together in a way that neither of them expected.
