Description

Marie, an elementary school teacher, suspects a student has been abused at home. Her judgment clouded by tensions in her marriage and her own desire to be a mother, Marie makes decisions that are more personal than professional. In this vivid performance, actress Marie-Ève Bertrand capitalizes on every moment onscreen, creating empathy for a woman whose needs are unfulfilled and whose loneliness goes unnoticed. AR

Ivan Grbovic earned a B.A. from Concordia Uni- versity and an M.F.A. from the American Film Institute. He has directed the short films La Tête haute (06) and La Chute (08).
