A Hungarian family of six relocates to Vancouver Island in the late 1990s. Through the curious gaze of the youngest daughter, Sasha, we explore a new life in calm surroundings. At the same time, an unspoken tension hangs over the family – something Sasha cannot fully grasp. Her older brother Jeremy struggles with severe behavioral issues that soon affect everyone around him.
Read moreDrawing inspiration from her own childhood, director Sophy Romvari has created a poetic and beautiful family drama that allows us to see the world from Sasha’s perspective, with an observant and almost dreamlike sensibility. Small sounds and everyday details take on great significance. Midway through, the film undergoes a dramatic and stylistic shift, inviting the audience to reinterpret events from a new angle.
While Blue Heron plays with different expressions and perspectives, it remains a remarkably confident two-act film with exquisite cinematography. Above all, it is a strong debut that explores sibling relationships, mental health, and how we learn to make sense of the past.
