Handlung
Der folgende Text ist nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
In the small mountain community of Sam Dent in Canada, a tragic school bus accident leaves more than a dozen children dead and others injured. A big-city lawyer named Mitchell Stephens arrives to help the survivors' and victims' families prepare a class-action suit against the trucking company responsible for the accident. However, his efforts inadvertently drive a wedge between the townspeople instead of uniting them in their grief. Meanwhile, one teenage survivor of the accident, Nicole Burnell, struggles to come to terms with her paralysis and the loss of innocence she experiences as a result of the tragedy.
Zusammenfassung

Atom Egoyan's 'Sweet Hereafter' (1997) is a poignant exploration of grief, community, and the aftermath of tragedy. Based on Russell Banks' novel of the same name, the film is a faithful adaptation of the true story of the school bus accident that occurred in the small town of Kagawong, Ontario, in 1955. Set in the isolated mountain village of Sam Dent, British Columbia, the film delves into the complex emotional landscape of the affected families and the community as they grapple with their shared loss. Through its richly drawn characters and evocative storytelling, 'Sweet Hereafter' examines how tragedy can both unite and divide communities, and how individuals cope with unimaginable suffering.
