Sarah Polley's extraordinary Stories We Tell is a deeply moving portrait of a family dealing with a legacy of secrets and lies and the elusive nature of truth itself.

Stories We Tell unpeels the complex life of Diane, an aspiring actress and mother and the shockwaves that a series of impulsive actions unleash on her children, husband and community.

With this ground-breaking new feature that seamlessly blends past and present, the real and the imagined, Polley's characteristically unflinching yet compassionate gaze delivers a level of depth and emotion only hinted at by her acclaimed earlier directorial works, Away From Her and Take This Waltz.
