Plot

The storyline follows Morag Gunn from her tough childhood in Manitoba, Canada to middle-age adult life. A key theme of the movie is Morag's search for love. The story also introduces unique characters from the Manawaka series. The film provides a glimpse into many ways that society creates outcasts socially. The film also explores mythology, as illustrated by Christie's Scottish Piper Gunn, Métis hero Jules Tonnerre, Morag's novel and songs by Skinner and Piquette. As Margaret Laurence's crowning achievement, The Diviners shows that truth and love can be "divined" in many ways.[1]

gollark: It seems kind of bad at doing multiple things at once.
gollark: I have finally gotten round to testing the public GLIDE model.
gollark: Since it seemed much more intelligent and thinky. Although in retrospect a lot of it is just boring but necessary glue code and similar.
gollark: I had actually expected codegen to take way longer before looking into this stuff in much detail (pre-Codex).
