Description:

"After leaving Ukraine, Jarolslaw and Katya find new difficulties with life in East Vancouver. Fixated on her vivid imaginings about her mother's death, Katya finds her life conflicted and confused. She finds solace in a married man who calls himself an old socialist. Jaroslaw, on the other had, is a realist who wants to assimilate and finds himself under financial pressure after losing his job. He devises a plan to sell a family heirloom that their grandmother acquired during the Great Famine of 1932, but this sets into motion disastrous consequences. A film about the power of new relationships, forgiveness and the mutability of memory, Acts of Imagination is deeply symbolic of historical injustices that part people and the unexpected solidarities that can arise." <88mn>
