The Swearing Jar

Trail & District Arts Council’s MONDAY CINEMA presents

The Swearing Jar

at The Royal Theatre, 1597 Bay Avenue, Trail.

Monday, January 23, 2023 @ 4 pm

$12/person – No assigned seating. Only 143 seats available.

Aspiring singer-songwriter Carey is falling for Owen, a clerk at the local bookstore. The problem is that she’s married, and still deeply in love with her husband, Simon, who she’s having a baby with. Complicating it further is Simon’s crusty mother, Bev, who ends even the most cheerful and tender encounters with a caustic comment about men’s unfaithfulness.

The film gets into Carey’s headspace, showing what attracts her to both men. Carey and Simon enjoy wisecracking and private games, but are weighed down by new responsibilities, while Owen offers the exciting feeling of new love.

“The Swearing Jar” looks at love, forgiveness, and self-recrimination and asks, ‘what happens when you find not one, but two, true soul mates.

“The Swearing Jar will play with your emotions and your anticipations. But it will also earn every tug on your heartstrings, every reversal of expectation.” – National Post

“An intelligent, hopeful, and heartbreaking musical drama about moving on, exploring what can happen when you’re determined to write your own destiny in love and in life.” – Screen Zealots
