Dir. Sophy Romvari - 2026 - 90m - Canada, Hungary - In English & Hungarian with English subtitles - Valid for Punch Cards
In Sophy Romvari’s award-winning debut feature set in the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her Hungarian family relocate to a new home on Vancouver Island, but their fresh start is interrupted by increasingly dangerous behavior from the eldest son, Jeremy. At wit’s end, their parents are presented with a shattering choice. Award-winning director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut is a lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, masterfully chronicling the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
“An exquisitely perceptive and empathetic film.” —Guy Lodge, Variety
“A coming-of-age stunner . . . hits with such precision, it could break you open from the inside.” —Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
“Enormously rich . . . its layered, time-collapsing complexity belies the moving emotional simplicity it summons.” —Jessica Kiang, Film Comment
