A forgotten actor and his old friend walk Montreal—memories surface, futures crumble.
On Easter Day, Marie-Chantal Perron leaves the pharmacy on rue Mont-Royal to go to see friends in the McGill ghetto. On her way, she meets her friend, the actor David La Haye, forced to beg since an accident left him without short-term memory, therefore unable to learn his texts. Alone, without friends or a job, he is very happy to find his old friend, who has some difficult personal decisions to make and who is concerned by the state of his friend's health. As they walk, the two recall good times in their friendship.
Acting
La Haye plays himself—raw, meta, devastatingly vulnerable.
Direction
Tremblay and La Haye co-direct with painful autobiographical honesty.
Writing
Dialogue that meanders like real grief, then cuts deep.
Director
David La Haye
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in five days with largely improvised dialogue, using real Montreal locations from La Haye's life.
Part of a wave of 2010s Quebec cinema exploring male vulnerability through autofiction—think Dolan meets Cassavettes on a budget.
