Katherine Jerkovic : 2018
Roads in February
Sarah goes to visit her paternal grandmother Magda in Uruguay. When she was little her family migrated to Canada and now Sarah is back after her father's death. However, those places and people in the small Uruguayan village are now foreign to her. Even talking to her grandmother is strained. Magda who never saw her son again after he left, isn't exactly thrilled to see Sarah. She reminds her of everything she would rather forget. Sarah at the same time wanders around in the unrelenting heat, searching for some sort of connection with the place she once called home. Inspired by the writer-director's own personal story, the film speaks through silences and pauses. What do we lose by leaving? Can you ever go back home again? Katherine Jerkovic's feature debut was winner of the Best Canadian First Feature Film award when it premiered at Toronto International Film Festival 2018, and had its international premiere at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2018.
