Film · 2010 · 113 min · NR · Comedy

The revolution begins in high school

Leon Bronstein is not your average Montreal West high school student. For one thing, none of his peers can claim to be the reincarnation of early 20th century Soviet iconoclast and Red Army hero, Leon Trotsky. When his father sends Leon to public school as punishment for starting a hunger strike at Papa's clothing factory, Leon quickly lends new meaning to the term 'student union', determined as he is to live out his pre-ordained destiny to the fullest and change the world.

Directed by Jacob Tierney

Starring Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, Geneviève Bujold, Colm Feore, Jessica Paré, Tommie-Amber Pirie, Kaniehtiio Horn, Erika Rosenbaum
