Ghost Town Anthology

2019 · 97 min

A slow, frosty drift through grief and unease, where silence and fog press in and nothing quite resolves.

Directed by
Denis Côté
Genres
Drama, Mystery
Starring
Robert Naylor, Josée Deschênes, Jean-Michel Anctil
Overview
It is a small village somewhere in Quebec with only 215 inhabitants. When young Simon Dubé dies in a car accident, the villagers’ tranquil and regulated existence is thrown out of step. People are decidedly reluctant to talk about the accident. Time seems to lose all meaning. Snowy, frosty winter days stretch out into infinity. Mysterious figures emerge from the fog and commit strange acts. But what seems strange is sometimes more familiar than one might suspect.
