For the months of January and February the DVD Club has chosen NURSE.FIGHTER.BOY, written and directed by Torontonian Charles Officer.

The film takes us into the lives of three people and explores their connections to each other: JUDE is a single mother and a nurse who works late nights at the City Hospital to provide for her twelve-year-old son, CIEL. She is also struggling with a hereditary disease, Sickle Cell Anemia. Worried for his mother's health, Ciel immerses himself in the world of magic, conjuring up spells in the hopes of healing and protecting her. One night Jude encounters SILENCE, a 'past his prime' fighter who fights underground to survive, while giving him stitches. Hoping to secure a protector for himself and his mother, Ciel casts a spell, designed to unite the warrior with the nurse, leading to a series of magical encounters between them...
