| In the city of Vancouver, even dirt costs. In The Tenants three of its residents are struggling with their homes â whether thatâ s grappling with real estate prices, simmering resentments, or an uneasy co-living arrangement with the local wildlife. Scott and Dave are an odd couple. Scott is single-minded in his goal of buying a house, leading to too-long work hours and an oppressive budgeting system. Dave hides artisanal beard products in the trunk of his car and tries to prioritize his comfort in the rental heâ s happily lived in for years. For Maeve, their new â neighbourâ in the tweed suit, her goals are much more simple: safety, shelter, and attempting to live peacefully with the local raccoons. For all the things these folks lack â communication, shared goals, a home address â their differing motivations form an uneasy picture of the reality of living in a city that is inhospitable to many of its citizens. Stark, observational, darkly comic, and deeply human, The Tenants is a view inside the homes of some of Vancouverâ s most vulnerable inhabitants as their lives intersect and diverge atop its shifting soil. |
