Hope Hopkinson talks to writer-director Sophy Romvari about her new film, Blue Heron, in cinemas now. 

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.  

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.
