Blue Heron in Amsterdam

In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha moves with her family to the idyllic landscapes of Vancouver Island. Amidst pristine nature and carefree summer days, their fresh start seems perfect, yet a growing tension simmers beneath the surface. As Sasha navigates her new surroundings, her older brother Jeremy struggles with inner demons, his increasingly unpredictable behavior casting a long shadow over their family life. This intimate debut feature blurs the lines between memory and imagination. By weaving together home videos and photographs, an adult Sasha reconstructs her past in a poignant exploration of family, loss, and the hidden pressures that shaped her upbringing.
