Bayo background

Bayo

In the small coastal town of Tickle Cove, Newfoundland, Sharon and her 10-year-old son Bayo struggle to make a living, stuck in a life that's been passed down through generations. Sharon yearns for a fresh start in Toronto, where her late husband once called home.

Sharon and her 10-year-old son Bayo live in Tickle Cove, Newfoundland, where generations of their family have resided. Sharon yearns to leave for Toronto, seeking a better life, but her fisherman father, Phillip, only provides enough money for survival, not for achieving her dream. Bayo, however, wants to stay, inspired by his grandfather's stories and his own fantasy of rowing across the Atlantic to Portugal.
