Overview

Canadian actress and filmmaker Sarah Polley investigates certain secrets related to her mother, interviewing a group of family members and friends whose reliability varies depending of their implication in the events, which are remembered in different ways; so a trail of questions remains to be answered, because memory is always changing and the discovery of truth often depends on who is telling the tale.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deeply personal investigation that treats family memory as a puzzle with no single solution, where the act of searching becomes more important than finding certainty. Polley's film is both a mystery and a meditation on how we construct narratives about those we love.
