Xiaodan He | Canada | 2025 | 118m
French and Mandarin with English subtitles

Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant and mother living in Montreal, has spent her life shaped by duty — to her family, her culture, and a loveless marriage. But when she meets Camille, a spirited young Québécoise, a long-buried desire is awakened.

In the balmy and joyful Montreal summer, Feng Xia takes the radical step of choosing herself — embarking on a journey of forbidden love and long-overdue self-discovery. Her awakening becomes a profound reckoning with identity, exile, and the steep cost of liberation.

"This lovely, award-winning film is a quiet but moving tale about identity. It is also a love letter to the vibrant Canadian city." - Liz Brawn, Original Cin
