Seagrass Plot
The story of a family on the verge of coming closer together — or drifting further apart… Judith (Ally Maki) is Japanese Canadian; her husband Steve (Luke Roberts) is white. They're having some problems communicating with each other, so they've found a family retreat on the Pacific coast where kids can hang out while their parents confront one another in group-therapy sessions. But the time together exposes new fractures in the family’s internal dynamic: 11-year-old Stephanie (Nyha Breitkreuz) starts acting out, while six-year-old Emmy (Remy Marthaller) insists that she can feel Judith's recently departed mother watching over them all. Whether or not Emmy is right, something is certainly hanging over this family — a cloud of tension and dissatisfaction between Judith and Steve that neither can fully articulate, but both recognize. The more time Judith spends around another couple, Carol (Sarah Gadon) and Pat (Chris Pang), the more she worries that saving her marriage might not be the best move.
