Joanna McClelland Glass; music: Ethan Balis; dir: Alex Levy.

Sometimes when generations rub up against each other, the friction can warm your heart. Based on the Canadian author's own experience in the 1960s, Trying shares how a 25-year-old girl and her employer--a feisty, aristocratic, octogenarian Judge--manage to bridge the generation gap.
