Overview

This poignant human drama is phrased as a "small sonata" in three movements -- a novel approach by director and writer Micheline Lactôt to tell the story of two teenage girls. In the first movement, Chantal (Pascale Bussieres) rides the same bus every day and slowly develops an infatuation with the bus driver. Their interactions are expressed through gestures and glances and facial expressions, but not words. Just as Chantal is getting old enough, and maybe courageous enough to actually say something to the driver, fate steps in and she loses her chance. In the second movement, Louisette (Marcia Pilote) hides out on a fishing boat and is discovered by a Bulgarian fisherman who treats her with kindness and consideration and they spend a special evening together -- without being able to speak a word in the other's language. In the third movement, Chantal and Louisette become friends, and as kindred spirits they share a sense of loss and hopelessness.

Overview

Deux adolescentes, en mal d'amour, ne voient plus de raison de vivre dans un monde d'adultes anesthésié, indifférent, aveugle à leur détresse. Le film est composé comme une partition musicale en trois mouvements et joue davantage sur l'atmosphère et l'émotion que sur le discours et l'action. «À aucun moment, je n'ai souhaité qu'on puisse s'identifier aux deux personnages. Que les spectateurs restent spectateurs et rien de plus !»

Overview

Zwei Freundinnen in Montreal machen ihre ersten scheuen Erfahrungen in der Liebe, doch ihre Träume werden von der Wirklichkeit zerstört. Was wie eine Pubertätsgeschichte beginnt, schwingt sich mit der Zeit auf, leise und behutsam die Nöte zweier halbwüchsiger Mädchen zu schildern, die vergeblich gegen Kommunikationsunfähigkeit, Gleichgültigkeit und Kälte ihrer Umwelt anrennen. Als auch ihre offen kundgetane Verzweiflung keine menschliche Reaktion bewirkt, führen sie fatalistisch aus, was sie eigentlich gar nicht wollen: den Selbstmord. Ein Film, der er- und aufschreckt und zum Nachdenken anregt.
