2002

Emile (Ian McKellen), born in a farming community in Saskatchewan, has emigrated to academic life in the United Kingdom where he has remained for 40 years. Now he travels to Victoria to receive an honorary degree and discovers the niece he left in an orphanage (Deborah Kara Unger) and her young daughter (Theo Crane). The film oscillates between Emile’s life in the present as he tries to reconnect with his immediate family, and the past which continues to haunt him. The past is sometimes more familiar and more immediate to Emile than the present reality before his eyes.
