Delmer & Marta
movie
Life partners Delmer and Marta of First Nations descent have moved from the Rez - the Moon Moose First Nation - to the big city of Morningside. Unlike their plan which was for Delmer to get a job in the Alberta oil patch, Marta, sincere to a fault, has become the household breadwinner being the accidental lifestyle host of the local television morning news program, Good Morning Morningside, while Delmer supports her in any way he can, which generally means not very often in a practical way despite his good intentions. Their life in Morningside is an interesting one if only in dealing with their friends and colleagues: Tom Bobadell, their mechanic/cowboy neighbor, Delmer's new best friend and an emotional wreck of a man; Creston, the show's self-absorbed and control-freak of a producer; the show's news co-hosts, ultra-ambitious Lisa Irons and deer-in-the-headlights Chad Hunter; sarcastic and acerbic-tongued Lloyd, the show's floor manager; and the station's interns, Wesley, always searching for love despite his awkward ways, and impressionable Keltie, who is always aiming to please without always achieving the desired result.\u2014Huggo
