Synopsis
Is history an act of imagination?
Katya and her brother, Jaroslaw, recent immigrants from Ukraine, live in east end Vancouver. Despite their lifelong intimacy, a chasm grows between them. He struggles to commit to a single mom of Korean origin, while Katya, caught somewhere between history and imagination, takes up with an older man from Pakistan. Misunderstandings follow, and a spiral of unintended consequences changes them all.
Eastern Europe intersects Asia in a film about the mutability of memory, historical repression, and the exquisite fragility of new relationships.
A stunning first feature for director Carolyn Combs and actor Stephanie Hayes.
