In contemporary Canada, lawyer Stephens came to the small town of Sumden in British Columbia. There has just been a car accident here, which has caused panic and the town is paralyzed. It is said that the female driver Dolores was driving the school bus of the local school just after leaving an ice-covered road, she suddenly fell into the frozen lake. There were 22 students in the car and 14 people were killed. Stephens' trip was to mobilize the distressed parents of the students to unite and sue the car company. No matter what the problem was solved, he promised to act as a prosecution lawyer without any remuneration. Stephens approached Wendell and Lisa, the owner of the local motel, and wanted to solicit their opinions on how to deal with the grieving parents of students. He also met the female driver, Dolores, and listened to her statement about what happened before and after the car accident. The parents of the students who first signed and agreed to sue the car company were Otos, Hartley, and Wanda. Their adopted son, Bell, unfortunately died in an accident. Then Lisa also signed, followed by Sam and Mary, their daughter, Nicole, who survived, but was half paralyzed and in a wheelchair. However, Stephens also ran into a nail: Billy, the garage owner who lost two children in a car accident, threatened to use force against Stephens and advised other residents of the town to ignore this nosy lawyer. The lawsuit did not go smoothly. When Nicole was summoned to give testimony on her own experience, she almost completely ruined their painstakingly managed lawsuit. Although she had vowed not to "lie", she said Dolo Reese drove too fast. Stephens stayed alone to be punished, and the entire village became stronger. Everyone united and worked together to overcome the devastating consequences of the disaster.

Interspersed with multi-line structures, the recitation of literary works beats the rhythm of the plot, events and hidden secrets, long shots of beautiful scenery, pretentious soundtracks, and unexpected endings that come to an abrupt end. It's actually pretty cliché, isn't it? In addition, shouldn't it be called a sweet afterlife, what kind of accident?

Igoyan's films always have mixed feelings, and when you want to sum up in one or two sentences, you can't find the right sentence. Maybe it's multiple protagonists, maybe it's because of multiple lines that interpret the theme. I think it was more that I was sucked so deeply into the world of this small town that the sadness and entanglement of those characters merged and your words disappeared. A good movie, I was not a fan of emotional movies like this, but this one made me experience the charm.

Mason: Nicole, did the Pied Piper take the children away because he was mad that the town didn't pay him?
Nicole: That's right.
Mason: Well, if he knew magic, if he could get the kids into the mountain, why couldn't he use his magic pipe to make the people pay him for getting rid of the rats?
Nicole: Because... he wanted them to be punished.
Mason: So he was mean?
Nicole: No, not mean, just... very angry.
