One Week, a Gala at the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival®, is the highly anticipated second feature from Michael McGowan, whose remarkable debut, Saint Ralph, won the Arc d’Or at the 2005 Paris Film Festival, a Writers’ Guild of Canada award for best screenplay, the 2005 Mackenzie Investment’s Film Circuit People’s Choice Award and was named one of Canada’s Top Ten films of the year in 2005.

As the title indicates, Ben Tyler (Joshua Jackson) has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. What should he do? For Ben, engaged to a beautiful woman, Samantha(Liane Balaban), the only answer that makes sense is to see as much of his country as he can, in a way that allows him to experience the dizzying freedom of the road and help him search within himself for sources of meaning. To this end, he gets on his motorcycle and journeys from Toronto to Tofino, British Columbia. Along the way, he visits many of Canada’s iconic and lesser known landmarks, and has encounters that enable him to get at the heart of who he is.
