“Fries with That” is the story of one boy’s heroic triumph over the fear and awkwardness Western culture often associates with death, as explained through the eyes of his sister – a girl still too young to be tainted by negative predisposition and unnatural paranoia. As the boy sets out into the world to discover whatever good fortune may lie in what’s left of his future, we are reminded by his sister’s gift to him that in times of difficulty, often the only solution is to be found in something as simple as a box of french fries… With music provided by one of Canada’s preeminent young classical musicians – Robert MacDonald – “Fries with That” is a touching and humorous look at the natural process of death through the calm of a child.
