Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they attempt to build a new life, only to be destabilised by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of her older brother, Jeremy.
Drawing on her own memories, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection, in an extraordinary feature debut which recalls the profound, nuanced emotional resonance of Charlotte Wells’ Aftersun.
