Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight-year-old Sasha as her Hungarian immigrant family begins life anew in an unfamiliar home.

What first appears to be a hopeful transition unfurls tension as her eldest brother displays increasingly volatile behaviour which destabilises daily life.

Elegantly shot and structurally assured, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection.

Drawing from her own childhood experiences this is a sensitive and atmospheric drama that examines childhood perception, emotional estrangement and the difficulty of understanding those closest to us.

Dir. Sophy Romvari, Canada/Hungary, 2025, 91 mins. In Hungarian and English with English subtitles. Cast. Eylul Guven, Edik Beddoes, Iringó Réti, Ádám Tompa, Liam Serg.
