A short film exploring a funeral in rural Quebec that, at the last moment, becomes a funeral for two. The film follows Thomas, a grandson of the deceased whose poor French and use of humor as a coping mechanism have left him estranged from his Quebecois family.
Along the way, we meet an eclectic group of oddballs, the likes of which seem to only exist in large family gatherings, who push and pull Thomas to the point of exhaustion but also reflection.

Montreal & Sorel, QC, Canada
The film is currently in the funding stage. We are diligently preparing to start production in Montreal at the beginning of 2024. Our approach is driven by vision, careful planning, and unwavering dedication to bringing this project to life.
