Stories We Tell

Canadian actress and filmmaker Sarah Polley embarks on a deeply personal investigation into the secrets surrounding her late mother. She interviews a circle of family and friends, each offering a different, often conflicting, version of the past. Their reliability shifts with their own stakes in the narrative. The film becomes a detective story about memory itself, where the central mystery isn't just what happened, but how we remember, why we reshape stories, and where truth resides in the spaces between competing recollections.
