In her first feature film, Romvari used actors to portray her family, including her younger and adult self, to explore childhood memories leading up to her troubled half-brother, Jeremy, being sent away. This approach allowed her to consider whether any amount of understanding could truly bring peace. As the adult Sasha, played by Amy Zimmer, explains in a voiceover, “The more I get older, the more I realize I never really knew him. The image I have of him now feels incomplete.” While we don’t have a basis for comparison, this doesn’t fully capture the vivid and immersive depiction of a 1990s Canadian summer that Romvari creates, a time experienced through the endless days of a child’s perspective.
