La tête au neutre
The filmmaker adapts "De mémoire incomplète", one of her own short stories, into a film that portrays the encounter of two people wounded by the past and by history, over the course of a day and a night on a street in Montreal. Past, present, imagination, and reality intertwine in the subjective vision of its protagonist, Ana María, as the Canadian city becomes a dreamlike landscape.
