Description
Through the eyes of youngest sibling Sasha, we get drawn into the internal dynamics of a Hungarian-Canadian family that moves to Vancouver Island. When Sasha’s brother Jeremy starts showing unexplainable and dangerous behavior, it puts the entire family on edge, leaving Sasha with memories she won’t be able to understand until much later in life. Blue Heron beautifully and intriguingly blurs the boundaries between fiction and documentary filmmaking, featuring a personal story from director Sophy Romvari, who makes her highly anticipated feature debut after creating multiple award-winning short films.
