Blue Heron tells the story of a Hungarian family who emigrates to Vancouver Island in the 1990s. The perspective belongs to eight-year-old Sasha, as she watches her parents struggle to hold things together while her older brother Jeremy drifts further into erratic, sometimes dangerous behaviour. But this isn’t just a family drama. First-time feature film writer-director Sophy Romvari layers memory, fiction, documentary, and metacinema, creating something that feels closer to time travel than to storytelling. A moving, thoughtful, thoroughly original piece of work, Blue Heron will likely stir up deep emotions and your own path of remembering.
