Guest of Honour

"Guest of Honour" is a 2019 Canadian drama film that follows Veronica, a music teacher played by Laysla De Oliveira, who demands to be imprisoned for a crime she did not commit as a form of atonement for her past sins. Her father, Jim, played by David Thewlis, tries to secure her early release, but their actions are driven by the past traumas they've experienced. As the story unfolds, Veronica's recollection of her childhood and her relationships with those around her comes into question, leading to a complex exploration of guilt, trauma, and the power of forgiveness.
