Emile

After an absence of many years, a scientist (Ian McKellen) confronts a troubled family history when he returns to his Canadian homeland to receive an honorary degree. While in Victoria, he visits his adult niece (Deborah Kara Unger) whom he abandoned in an institution when she was a child. Filmmaker Carl Bessai's moving story of guilt and redemption has been favorably compared to Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries by many reviewers and features another carefully modulated performance by one of England's theatrical icons.
