STEAL AWAY
Director Clement Virgo will be in attendance at the September 24 screening.
Directed by Clement Virgo (BROTHER, CIFF 2022) and adapted from Karolyn Smardz Frost's non-fiction book STEAL AWAY HOME, STEAL AWAY is an erotically charged thriller that feels very much like a fairy tale in an unknown period. Full of incredible world building and beautiful locations, the film brings a bold and fresh multi-layered story to life.
Fanny (Angourie Rice, MEAN GIRLS, SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING), a naive teenager, starts her journey to adulthood when Cécile (Mallori Johnson), a mysterious refugee, is taken in by her charitable family. As the two girls develop an intense and obsessive bond, Fanny becomes captivated by Cécile's way of navigating life, leading to an awakening of desire and jealousy. Gradually, both girls realize that the benevolent world they inhabit is not what it appears.
