Yet because Jared experiences so much violence at the hands of people who do not love him, he shies away from violence in any context and instead seeks out affectionate relationships, like with his dog and grandmother. Violence and love are also inextricably linked for Jared in a confusing way, as his mother and his girlfriend, Sarah, both try to express their love for him through violence (his mother uses violence to protect him and teach him how to protect himself, and his girlfriend tries to be violent during sex). Violence permeates 16-year-old Jared’s life in Kitimat, British Columbia: he gets mugged and robbed while he’s baking the marijuana cookies that he sells, and several of his mom’s boyfriends abuse him. ![]() ![]() ![]()
