Infinitely Polar Bear
Starring Mark Ruffalo (The Avengers franchise, Now You See Me) and Zoe Saldana (Star Trek franchise, Avatar franchise).
INFINITELY POLAR BEAR tells the story of a man named Cam. Cam is a bit of a mess – as a man, as a husband and as a father. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, he seeks to win back his wife by assuming full responsibility for their two young and spirited daughters (who don’t make the overwhelming task easy). When his wife reluctantly goes to business school in another city, Cam’s daughters are as much of a parent to him, as he is to them.
Cam is determined to break his trend of not fulfilling expectations and prove to his family that he can be the man they need him to be. His manic behaviour provides as much of a world of colour as it does trouble, but this family is determined to stay together no matter what. Based on the childhood of writer/director Maya Forbes, this funny, moving depiction of an unconventional family was one of the standout films of the Sundance Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival in 2014.
