Sometimes, we're just waiting for a miracle. A nurse who is a Jehovah's Witness, grows fond of the miracle survivor of a plane crash. Two sexagenarians, a bartender and a parking lot attendant want to explore their forbidden passions. A conservative, well-off couple drown their disappointments in booze and gambling. And a man does his utmost to make amends for an irredeemable action, bringing us to a plane bound for Cuba. An ensemble film where every character affects the lives of others.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is one of the rare Quebec films to center Jehovah's Witness culture authentically, filmed with community consultation rather than mockery.
Xavier Dolan shot his scenes in two days between directing Mommy; Podz specifically wrote Étienne for him after seeing I Killed My Mother.
