Lodestar

Plot: After they discover their childhood house is about to be demolished, two sisters return home for one last visit – and a chance to say goodbye. What does it mean to let go of the past, especially when our memories are tied to the intimacy of home and the objects within? With its wonderfully evocative cinematography and attention to the textures of the familiar, Maxine Zanoni’s gentle interrogation of nostalgia explores how our attachment to physical spaces can drive our yearning for closure.
