Louise Bédard

In 1968, an internationally renowned French film director unexpectedly lands in Abitibi, in the northwest of Quebec, to conduct political and mass-media experiments. This event fuels the revolutionary tendencies of Michel, a local young man, and the desire to travel the world of Marie, his girlfriend.

Two beings who traverse the same zone of desire, with no other goal than to satisfy the tensions between them. They do so in a remarkable mise-en-scène, where the play of light and shadow is as effective as the composition of the image. As if the movement, the encounter, and the anxiety of the end were responding to the quest for a new balance; in this film, the art of disappearing beautifully both ignites and soothes.
