Irma Voth

The stifling, reclusive life of 19 year old Irma, recently married and then deserted, is turned on its head when a film crew arrives to make a movie about the strict religious Mennonite community in which she and her family live. She is drawn to the creative passion and warmth of their world but her domineering father is determined to keep her from it at all costs. The confrontation between them sets her on an irrevocable path towards something that feels like freedom as she and her young sister, Aggie, flee to Mexico City, sustained by their love for each other, even as they begin to understand the tragedy that has shaped their family.
