    Thank you Léa Pool

    Very touching, nuanced and sensible film. Beautiful scenes, slow moving action that allow the feelings to come out during all the silences... It touched me. It's a movie about despair and human relationships... Once again, Léa Pool has made an excellent film about people and their lives...

    • Trivia
      This film marks Léa Pool's promising debut in the world of cinema: a confident, well-conceived and skillfully directed film, with exceptional photography by Georges Dufaux. Pool entrusted the lead roles to two of Quebec's best actresses, Paule Baillargeon and Louise Marleau, whose performances are impeccable, capturing every change in mood or tone of their character.
