In this moving film that will soak its way to your soul, a family of six settles into their new home on Vancouver Island as internal dynamics are slowly revealed through the eyes of the youngest child.
In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha (Eylul Guven) and her Hungarian immigrant family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island. Their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behaviour from Jeremy (Edik Beddoes), the family's oldest child. The conscientious parents (Iringó Réti and Ádám Tompa) try their best to cope and to help him, between psychiatry and a combination of tough and abiding love. This is a masterfully-assembled memory piece that goes a long way towards articulating life-altering grief, ‘Blue Heron’ is deeply affecting and announces writer-director Sophy Romvari as an artist to watch. By the time its credits roll, you may even feel more spiritually connected to yourself and those you’ve lost. (Some subtitles)
