An adult-oriented French-Canadian drama, this is a story
of grief, guilt, redemption, faith and the need to 'let
go'. Two strangers meet at an emotionally challenging time
for both. Elise Guilbault commands the screen as Jeanne,
a middle-aged doctor whose attempts to help a battered wife
(Isabelle Roy) yield unforeseen, tragic consequences. How
do you cope with senseless violence or the impending death
of someone you love and without whom you can see no future?
BFFS Jury's Best Contemporary Film, Commonwealth
Film Festival 2006
"Performances all around
... are superb, with Guilbault bringing a sharp intelligence,
combined with hard-shelled compassion, to her portrayal
of anguish and loss. Visuals are a strong point, thanks
to director of photography Jean-Claude Labrecque, who dignifies
all the characters, and beautifully captures the calm, rich
texture of Quebec's autumnal landscape" VARIETY.COM
