""Academy Award nominee Sarah Polley's extraordinary Stories We Tell is a deeply moving portrait of a family dealing with a legacy of secrets and lies, and the elusive nature of truth itself.

Son film se transforme aussitôt en une enquête, propulsée par des témoignages de ses frères et soeurs plus âgés qu'elle, ainsi que des proches de Diane Polley. Leurs révélations la conduisent à Montréal, où sa mère, qui jouait en 1978 dans une pièce donnée au théâtre Centaur, aurait eu une liaison avec un membre de la troupe. Mais lequel? Afin de percer ce mystère, Sarah va à la rencontre de l'imprésario de sa mère, Harry Gulkin. Ce dernier lui fait une révélation fracassante. [(c) Médiafilm]."
