Teller and the Truth
[A] beautifully realized meditation on life and loss
The Teller and the Truth
In 1974, 24-year-old Francis Wetherbee, a bank teller who is the subject of small-town envy and gossip, disappears from her hometown of Smithville, Texas two weeks after her fiancé’s bank is robbed. Her car is dredged from the bottom of a local river but yields no clues. After a vigorous but futile search for the missing woman, the authorities give up, and Francis recedes into legend, until the case is revisited nearly 40 years later when key figures in her life come forward with theories and clues surrounding her disappearance. The film then morphs from documentary style to narrative as the odyssey of Francis' life unfolds for the audience and the truth is revealed.
