Montreal-based writer-director Chloé Robichaud helms this story, described as “an emotionally complex, visually assured drama about a young orchestra conductor who finds herself at a crossroads in her life and career.” Emma (played by Sophie Desmarais) is on her way to fame in the Quebec classical music scene. Her controlling father, Patrick (played by Sylvain Marcel) is her agent. Enter a cellist and single mother Naëlle (played Nour Belkhiria) “offering her the chance to experience an entirely different type of family dynamic.”
