The director of festival favourites like WINDOW HORSES (KCFF17) and long one of Canadian cinema’s most unique talents, Ann Marie Fleming returns with one of her most singular visions yet. This fable presents a possible future in which humankind has been able to move past the challenges and catastrophes that plague our present, albeit with a very grave cost. The teenaged protagonist of Fleming’s film, Kiah (Keira Jang) has much to learn when she begins her job as a “Documenter,” one who bears witness to the end-of-life ceremonies that are obligatory for citizens who’ve reached the age of 50. Kiah’s new task is further complicated by the knowledge that time’s almost up for Kiah’s doting mother Ellie, played by the great Sandra Oh. With its introspective tone, smart take on dystopic tropes, and deft grace notes of animation, Fleming’s latest marvel is an unusually poignant kind of science-fiction story.
