?A northern gothic noir, The City Still Breathing is an acid-washed love letter to the 1980s. A body is found on the side of a highway. Naked, throat slashed, no identification. It disappears from the back of a police van and begins a strange odyssey, making its way, over the course of one early winter night, around a northern Ontario town and through the lives and dreams of eleven very different people. These eleven people – from the police officers who retrieve the body to the teenager who carries it away to the young woman planning to strike out for Toronto and Sudbury’s local drug dealer – are all damaged in some way, and eventually, through the body itself, are brought together in a strange moment of violence.
