Based on the short play 'Les Câlins Cheaps' by French-Canadian playwright Annick Lefebvre, this is a story of two women grieving over the recent suicide of a mutual friend. The loss has re-colored the details of their lives, turning their respective worlds upside down. The juxtaposition of their movements through the city of Montreal reveals their response to the question of how to live with this hole in their heart. One woman’s openness to the pain counters the other’s avoidance, ultimately leading them towards an unexpected connection.
