In Points of Who, Elsie Shaw finds herself in a dangerous relationship. Already a single mom at twenty- two, she meets her ideal man. Just when Elsie discovers she is pregnant with his child, he turns violent. Did I mention ideal? Not so much. Using humor as her ally, Points of Who (P.O.W.), gives a quirky voice to an abuse victim trying to make sense of her untenable circumstances. Elsie’s self-conscious sense of humour, irony, and optimism combine with a cast of characters who serve as mirrors to her situation. A wry commentary set in the eighties, a road trip literally and figuratively, we are along for the ride with Elsie as she wisecracks her way through love, self-help, violence, happy housewives, druggies, native medicine, and psychiatrists. Not to mention blues musicians, psychics and children. Elsie’s journey is the spiritual quest of the everyday, to survive, surpass and find ourselves.
