Never discount the power of blood lines. Written and directed by Gail Maurice, Blood Lines tells the story of Beatrice (Dana Solomon), a young Metis woman whose life is upended by the return of her mother, Lenore (Maurice). Having abandoned her daughter as a child, Lenore’s mysterious return allows old wounds to resurface within Beatrice. However, those feelings of rage are supplanted by the arrival of Chani (Derica Lyn Lafrance), a beautiful stranger who is searching for her roots.
