VYFS presents our next Adventures with Movies and Emotions film A Monster Calls at Vashon Theatre!

A Monster Calls isn’t just a movie; it’s an emotional journey. Through stunning visuals and powerful storytelling, it explores grief, trauma, and how stories help us hold what feels unbearable. Tender, raw, and beautifully made, it offers moments of understanding and quiet comfort in the midst of loss.
