a documentary about a spunky 80-year-old lady. German born, Irma Roggenkamper
Garbs immigrated to Canada in 1952 with her husband Albert. The film is
a memoir of her past, factual and emotional, and the adventures she and
Albert experienced in Canada. The Garbs later opened Hanover House Cafe
in Morin Heights, Québec, a well-known coffee house. Irma’s
sister Charlotte played piano for Mme. Chiriaeff and Les Grands Ballets
Canadiens. Irma paints, plays the violin and defies defeat. Her account
of a diversified life is an inspiring one. |
