We found this movie on Netflix streaming movies, a small independent digital (Red One camera) movie shot in Canada with Canadian actors.
Little person Jordan Prentice is Harvey Lippe working as a janitor and living in a small trailer in cold, snowy Canada. We see him fiddling often with his trailer heater, it doesn't seem to work well. He doesn't seem to have many friends, and has a film camera from days gone by. He enjoys shooting film, mostly ordinary scenes in the small town.
Harvey was an orphan, and grew up in that setting. I suppose the unspoken message was that couples were just not interested in adopting a small person. But other than his very small stature Harvey is intelligent and seems perfectly normal, in fact more normal than most of the other characters we see.
One day Harvey encounters Kristin Adams as Dakota Dixon, house-sitting for an absent couple. Harvey is surprised and guarded when Dakota befriends him. It is an experience he has not had, nor expected, attention from a pretty girl. Later, when she kisses him, and tells him she wants to eradicate his virginity, he is REALLY surprised.
This is a story about Harvey, who probably considers himself insignificant. But after he stands up to his bad boss, experiences Dakota before she goes off to New York, as the movie ends we feel Harvey is finding out some new things about himself.
Production values are not very high, the acting is OK, it is a pleasant diversion but for us at least not particularly memorable.
