An evocative parallel with The Pied Piper underlines a more complex set of emotions than the cinema is usually keen on depicting.

Smuk canadisk film om sorgbearbejdelse i en lille by. Meget bevægende.

Om sorg och saknad och att försöka hitta tillbaka till en hygglig tillvaro efter att ett trauma drabbat en hel byggd. Fingertoppskänsligt och ömsint skildrat med svärta och ljus.

In a small Canadian town, a tragic school bus accident kills 14 children. Out-of-town lawyer Mitchell Stephens, haunted by his own personal demons, convinces the grieving parents to file a class-action lawsuit against the town and bus company. As the case unfolds, Nicole Burnell, a 15-year-old survivor paralyzed from the waist down, becomes a key witness. But when Nicole unexpectedly accuses the bus driver of speeding in a pretrial deposition, the lawsuit is halted. Two years later, Stephens sees the bus driver working in a different city, raising questions about the truth and the path to healing.
