Under the direction of husband Paul Almond, Bujold got her breakthrough lead role in this psychological drama with religious overtones, blending Canadian realism with intimations of the paranormal. She plays a woman dealing with her mother’s death who returns to her rural hometown in Quebec and is haunted by traumatic childhood memories of the deaths of her brother, father, and grandfather.
