The Secrets We Keep

This blog has been in the past about memories, those imagined and those substantiated.

I came across recently a trailer for an indi art house movie: The Secrets We Keep

It is about a young woman, a refugee transplant after World War II now living in New York with her family, seemingly the hard war years behind her—until, memories are stirred by the sound of a whistle. A stranger whistling for his dog.

One could say this is a thriller, a suspense film as she becomes obsessed with discovering the truth and coming face-to-face with herself and her haunting memories.

So I’m not going to the movies right now and will likely miss seeing this film in the theater—but I love the premise and the struggle between what is true and what we thing is true—and the grey area in between.
