"★★★★ – A powerful, masterful debut film" – Observer

Set in the 1990s, the debut feature from one of Canada’s most exceptional emerging filmmakers is an intimate and moving exploration of memory and love. A Hungarian-Canadian family move to Vancouver Island seeking to build a new life, but the erratic behaviour of their eldest child, Jeremy, threatens to destabilise them. Seen through the eyes of eight-year-old daughter Sasha, this is a beautifully shot and boldly structured exploration of family that draws on Romvari’s own memories.
