Janus
Janus is a heart-wrenching story from Marjorie Lewis: a story of love, hate, poverty and adversity, and of wanderlust. Following the lives of three generations of the Lewis family, this saga is teeming with pathos and hardships as each generation tackles the same issues of the last. The trials and tribulations of family life in a more difficult time begins with a young Albert Lewis, struggling to fit in with his society and his family, in the cold and bitter early 20th century, Wales: his mother, Florence, the only real love in his life. As his family life begins to unravel, his mother whisks him and his siblings away - on a long sea voyage to the embrace of Canadian shores. What seemed like a chance for redemption and a moment of hope, the situation soon spirals out of control. Could this fresh start begin to heal the Lewis' open wounds or will the effects leave a scar on the new generations to come, enabling the same mistakes to be passed down?
