About

We wanted the film to have a realistic style. That can be seen in the natural lightning used and the dialogs which are heavily grounded in Quebec’s culture. Furthermore, much information are understood implicitly. Because of that, the movie doesn’t fall in the overexposure’s trap, which is how the dialog succeed to not sound artificial. This realistic style is interrupted by a poetic and macabre scene toward the end. The goal of this scene is to show how the paranormal intercourse shove the characters’ daily lives.
