Michelle, qui souffre de schizophrénie, partage sa vie entre sa librairie de livres d’occasion et l’hôpital. Dans sa boutique, elle aime échanger des propos sur la littérature avec ses clients. L’art la rattache à la vie. Sa sœur, Marie, chanteuse de jazz, s’inquiète pour elle et craint qu’elle oublie ses antidépresseurs. De son côté, Marie doit être opérée pour une tumeur au cerveau. L’opération a pour effet de la laisser aphasique. Elle retrouve sa voix dans toute sa puissance, mais les mots lui échapperont pendant un certain temps. Elle oublie des épisodes de son enfance et cherche à se souvenir de la voix de son père. Thomas, le neurochirurgien allemand qui opère Marie, tombe amoureux de sa patiente. Un jour, celle-ci le présente à Michelle.

After the Ballot is a full-length documentary portraying the gruelling everyday life of two Members of Quebec's National Assembly who, although at opposite ends of the political spectrum, share the fact that their sole power lies in their convictions. One is Daniel Turp, the PQ Member for Mercier. The other is Charlotte L'Écuyer, Liberal MNA for Pontiac. The film aptly illustrates that ordinary MNAs have very little authority since the real power is held by ministers who are subject to the ups and downs of a globalized economy. Meanwhile, their fellow citizens keep asking for the impossible…

Café Désirs

Mar 02, 2015
Since the early 1990s, when a bloody civil war broke out in Algeria between the government and Islamist militants, the concept of haram—the forbidden—has demanded the rigid separation of men and women. Café Désirs is a fascinating look at a generation of young, single Algerian men as they come of age in the ancient city of Constantine, trapped between strict religious virtue and sexual desire. Three eloquent guides take us into the male-only world of cafés and hookah lounges, to talk openly about their lives, their frustrations with work and the social dangers of living in a sexually repressed society. It's a world especially fraught for those pursuing same-sex relationships, which are illegal and severely punished. Café Désirs is an engaging and complex exploration of male sexuality and gender politics in a country still struggling with the aftermath of civil war and colonialism.

Une histoire inventée

In this tragicomedy, Toni is the director of a staged rendition of Othello in Montreal. It is a pet project of his, financed by his loving mafia uncle. Unbeknownst to him, the audiences are also rounded up (and paid) by the same uncle. Some of them have seen every performance of this tragic play, and are understandably bored, so when the backstage romantic shenanigans of the actors result in absurd situations onstage, the audience is delighted. There are a huge number of romantic situations going on in this film at the same time. One of them involves Gaston a somewhat world-weary jazz musician, and Florence, a glamorous middle-aged woman who has been pining for him for years. Another involves to members of the musician's jazz trio. Yet another involves the play's Desdemona, Soledad, the girlfriend of the man playing Othello, who can't keep his hands off his (female) dresser.
