A gorgeous Canadian film adapted from the Russell Banks novel of the same name. This tells the story of a town torn apart by the tragedy of losing all their children, save one.

Sarah Polley is heart-breaking and brilliant as the one survivor. Her life before the bus crash is reassessed and she comes to terms with the...
