Blue Heron

Award-winning director Sophy Romvari’s feature debut, Blue Heron, is coming to The Frida Cinema!

In the late 1990s, eight-year-old Sasha and her 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.

A lyrical and profound testament to the things we carry with us, Blue Heron masterfully chronicles the haze of a languid summer and the hyaline clarity of the moments that defined it.
