On a class trip into the woods, Charlotte is confronted with her inner demons. Venturing alone into the icy forest, away from the pressure of the group and the obligation to eat, Charlotte will have to face her biggest battle yet, the one against her eating disorder.
Director Biography
Miryam Charles is a director, producer and cinematographer living in Montreal. She has directed several short films, including
Second Generation, Drei Atlas and Song for the New World.
In 2022, her debut feature film This House was presented at Berlinale Forum.
Director Statement
A journey to the end of an internal night. A night that our protagonist will have to live in solitude. Charlotte believes she is invincible. Through her journey, she will realize that she is not, and more importantly that she is not alone in the world. In developing the project, we sought to bring out the luminous side of this character, who has a particular perseverance and sensitivity. It was very important to show that this is not the story of a young woman who irreparably loses her way, but rather the story of a young woman who loses everything in order to rediscover herself.
