Darkest Miriam movie storyline. Miriam is a librarian working in an out of the way branch of the Toronto Public Library. Working among the marginalized eccentrics and cranks that frequent her branch, she is trudging through her life shrouded in a fog of grief. To add weirdness to sadness, she keeps finding vaguely threatening letters throughout the library that seem to be addressed to her and the world at large, but mostly to her. While puzzling over this mystery, Miriam meets Janko, a younger foreign cab driver. When they start a love affair Miriam starts to feel her fog lift. But the question remains: what is the deal with those letters?

The screenplay was written by Naomi Jaye. The film premiered in Tribeca Film Festival on June 9, 2024.
Executive Produced by Charlie Kaufman, director Naomi Jaye’s adaptation of Matha Baillie’s novel The Incident Report is off-kilter and generically unclassifiable. Featuring brilliant performances from Britt Lower and Tom Mercier as Miriam and Janko, Darkest Miriam is an understated, enigmatic, vibe forward playhouse that is solemn and quirky in equal measure.
