continues its Canadian Festival Circuit. Don't miss the film at and !

Fifty years after being separated during the Sixties Scoop, four Cree siblings reunite for the first time on a long weekend trip to Banff. Connie (Carmen Moore) frets over planning the perfect sight-seeing itinerary, while down-to-earth-but-guarded Gwen (Michelle Thrush) laments feeling like a tourist in her own country. Marianne (Alex Rice), who grew up in Belgium, experiences the bittersweet joy of discovering her Indigenous culture in midlife, while Anthony (Michael Greyeyes) grapples with a history of assimilation and his role as a grandfather-to-be.

Over picturesque backdrops of forest trails, snowcapped mountains, and crystalline lakewater, the Wasepescan siblings open up about the hurts, hopes, and fears that resurface in the tender process of reassembling their family. Introspective performances from an ensemble cast of VIFF favourites are perfectly matched by the film’s sensitive, piano-driven score. Based on her 2017 documentary Birth of a Family, this emotional drama from award-winning filmmaker Tasha Hubbard relates a life-affirming story of reconnection and belonging.
