Eve & the Fire Horse

Eve and Karena, two young Canadian sisters of Chinese heritage, are determined to reverse the string of tragedies that has shadowed their working-class family ever since their mother (Vivian Wu) cut down the backyard apple tree. In response, the two girls embrace Christianity, with 11-year-old Karena trying to live the life of a saint. But what of the family's Buddhist tradition? Julia Kwan's wry and delicately observed debut feature about faith, religion and coincidence won the Special Jury Prize at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
