Madeleine
Director: Raquel Sancinetti
Québec/Canada, 2023
15 minutes
Every week, Raquel (41), a Brazilian immigrant, visits her friend Madeleine (107) in her retirement home in Montreal and tries to convince her to get out of the house. The old woman refuses, having nothing to do outside. Raquel doesn't relent and finds a way to bring Madeleine with her on a road trip to the sea. The result is a journey that plays with reality and fiction and reflects upon on life, death, and the certainty that there is always something to learn along the way.
