First movie for Guylaine Dionne. She also write it, in a very wonderful way. This is an intimate journey of three generations of women : a little girl, her mother, her grandmother. The journey of the little girl is for the future (searching for her father), the journey of the mother is for the present (shooting photos for her work) and the journey of the grandmother is for her past (looking for her first love). This is a kind of

tender road movie. This is a good piece of art. Cinema is also a way to express the creativity and Guylaine Dionne had done it in a very warm and intelligent way. This is shot in beautiful black and white. I hope to hear again from this talented new director.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
