The film is well told, well written, brilliantly acted and the photography is excellent. Death and life are quite sensitive subjects but the film-maker has managed to create such a beautiful piece of work, that is touching and not patronizing. The story evolves slowly as secrets are revealed at every turn keeping you at the edge of the seat. It is also a film about truth and the perception of truth and finally the audience will be immersed into that long life problem of dealing with truth... as we are confronted with a hard decision... what would we have done if we were in their place??? I would say that the movie is a little stradivarius made out of matchsticks.

The budget is nothing wow but the director was creative enough to solve many problems and create a very touching story.

The director of photography must also be mentioned for his work is magical.

I highly recommend this film. You wont regret it.

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.
