Co-directed by John Paskievich and Michael Mirus and produced by the National Film Board of Canada, the film is set against Paskievich's black and white still photography and consists of Baryluk talking about his store, his customers and the changes in his neighbourhood. It chronicles his efforts to convince a reluctant daughter to take over the business, despite her fears about the store's unruly clientele. Baryluk's efforts to preserve the store were unsuccessful, as it closed shortly after the film's release.[2]
