- Synopsis:
Inspired, inspiring, tender and touching, 'Stories We Tell' is a brilliant documentary portrait of a complicated yet deeply loving family from Oscar-nominated writer/director Sarah Polley.
Taking her cue from a family joke about-not resembling her father, Polley sets out to uncover the truth about her mysterious mother and her own uncertain lineage. Playfully yet pointedly interrogating a cast of blood relatives and family friends, she slowly pieces together a puzzle of conflicting stories, myths and memories until she makes a discovery that will shake her family to the core.At once an exploration of the function of storytelling, the elusive nature of truth and what it means to be part of a family, 'Stories We Tell' is funny, profound, poignant and one of the most original films of the year. - Actors:
