Plots(1)

In this profoundly gentle and poetic film, animator Franck Dion takes us inside the faltering, fragile mind of a woman living with dementia. Confronted by her own comical and surprising illusions, walking along the train cars as if in an unending dream, Jacqueline seeks to escape, but unconsciously so-which may be her strongest connection to the real world. Luckily, her daughter isn't the monstrous figure she thinks she sees, and is in fact watching over her to ensure her safe journey. (official distributor synopsis)

English A story that has the potential for something truly atmospheric, dark, perhaps even a bit bizarre at the beginning, but in the end, it slides more towards sentimentality rather than something truly surprising. I almost regretted that it didn't have a better progression, that the finale is not as interesting as the introduction of this film. ()
