VIFF: Young Triffie's Been Made Away With

A black comedy starring Vancouver's Fred Ewanuick and directed by Newfoundland's Mary Walsh. Ewaniuk portrays Newfoundland Ranger Andrew Hepditch in something of a Dudley Doright fashion, being both naive and clumsy. He's the butt of his unit's jokes, and they figure that they really got him when he's sent out to remote Swyers' Harbour to investigate a sheep shagging incident.

Hepditch arrives to find that things have escalated a bit with the arrival on the beach of a "poor young silly person"; dead and mutilated young Tryphenia Maude Pottle.

Very funny and well done period farce; right up to the crucifixion scene and the closing credits.
