Gathering Place

Join us for a screening of the film Ru. Based on the Governor General's Award-winning novel by Kim Thúy, Ru depicts the arduous journey of a wealthy family fleeing Vietnam before arriving in Quebec.

After a perilous sea crossing, young Vietnamese Tinh and her family arrive in Quebec, where they begin their new life. Thanks to a warm welcome from everyone, including the family who sponsors them, Tinh slowly adapts to her new reality. Shy and reserved by nature, Tinh will have to draw from deep within herself the determination needed to adapt to her new reality.

Directed by Charles-Olivier Michaud

Canada | 2023 | PG | 116m | French, Vietnamese

.

An incredibly beautiful film about resilience and survival and a truly uplifting watch.”

James Mackin, Toronto City News

Canadian director Charles-Olivier Michaud finds the warmth and humour in everything from a stepdance welcome in a community gym to the healing magic of maple taffy made on fresh snow […] Michaud chooses not to tell this story through a lot of dialogue, but rather through imagery and often achingly beautiful visual details.”

Janet Smith, Stir

Tender, lovely… a love letter to Canadians.”

Liza Braun, Original Cin
