Guest of Honour
Guest of Honour is a twisting morality tale exploring the complicated relationship between Jim (David Thewlis) and his daughter Veronica (Laysla De Oliveira) and the past that haunts them both. Veronica is a young high-school music teacher who is imprisoned when a hoax instigated by an aggressive school bus driver (Rossif Sutherland) goes very wrong. Convinced that she deserves to be punished for unrelated acts she committed at a much earlier age, Veronica rebuffs her father’s attempts to secure her early release. Both Jim and Veronica make efforts to move towards a resolution, which is brought to a brutal halt when Jim dies. While preparing Jim’s funeral, Veronica confides the secrets of her past to Father Greg (Luke Wilson) who may hold the final piece of this father-daughter puzzle. Acclaimed Director Atom Egoyan masterfully weaves through time to illuminate dark secrets, resulting in a disturbing and irresistibly compelling study of perception, memory and forgiveness.
