A small mountain community in Canada is devastated when a school bus accident leaves more than a dozen of its children dead. A big-city lawyer arrives to help the survivors' and victims' families prepare a class-action suit, but his efforts only seem to push the townspeople further apart. At the same time, one teenage survivor of the accident has to reckon with the loss of innocence brought about by a different kind of damage.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Sweet Hereafter' is a profound drama focusing on tragedy, grief, and legal action following a bus accident. There is no mention or indication in the plot summary that the events occur during the Christmas season or involve any traditional Christmas themes or iconography."
