The Far Shore (French: Dérive) is a Canadian drama film, directed by David Uloth and released in 2018.[1] The film centres on teenage sisters Océane (Éléonore Loiselle) and Marine (Maèva Tremblay) Beauregard, who are coming of age in the aftermath of the death of their father André (Réal Bossé), while their mother Catherine (Mélissa Désormeaux-Poulin) is struggling to cope with the loss or properly take care of her daughters.[2]
The film's cast also includes Emmanuel Schwartz, Émilie Bierre, Danielle Proulx and Isabelle Nélisse.
The film's screenplay was written by Chloé Cinq-Mars, Uloth's real-life wife, based in part on her own childhood.[2] The film premiered on September 29, 2018 at the Vancouver International Film Festival, before opening commercially in March 2019.[3]
