This humor-laced drama takes place in 1989 in the third month of a bitter paper mill strike in a small Maine town. While awaiting a ruling that will result in either a win for the strikers or a win for management, a struggling union family grapples with everyday life: illness, the unexplained need to create art, and a son trying to feed his young family. Meanwhile, the mills NYC-based CEO is dragged on a weekend getaway by his 26-year-old daughter, who has chosen this time to address her fathers failings.Through a series of events, the two families collide, testing each others and their own notions about family and loyalty. The characters in Papermaker are real, humanly flawed and beautiful.
