In The Sweet Hereafter, tragedy unites the residents of a<br />
small town. Soon after, a big-city lawyer, driven by his own<br />
demons, stirs up the anger of the townspeople. In the ensuing<br />
atmosphere of suspicion and doubt, a teenager manages to<br />
regain her dignity and re-unite the community. Because of her<br />
courage, the townspeople are led to the sweet hereafter, a realm<br />
reserved for those who are at peace with their fate.<br />
