In a complex narrative mosaic, Egoyan spins a breathtaking web of interconnected stories about the lives of the inhabitants of a small town in British Columbia following a tragic road accident. Atom Egoyan's most successful film to date, THE SWEET HEREAFTER garnered a staggering 42 international festival awards - including the 1997 Cannes Grand Jury Prize - and was graced with two Oscar nominations (Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay).
