But for people who know the Mount Pleasant Cemetery, the attraction is obvious. Mount Pleasant is more than just a burial ground. It is a breathtakingly beautiful island of green space in the centre of Canada's largest city. It is a place brimming with the spirit of Toronto's remarkable past. It is a place ideally suited to recreation, reflection and remembrance. The film recounts the development of the burial ground. Blended with the cemetery's history are the stories of events and people buried there.
