Objectif 9

A Middle-Eastern medical school student, new to Montreal, puts his relationship with his father at risk when he forfeits his education after being forever changed by two young women who help him see his destiny.

In 2001, on a winter evening, two sibling groups meet to go sledding. Cléo, fourteen, is going through a tumultuous time. What was meant to be an ordinary outing will turn her life upside down.

Pierrot is serene and has no fear of his premature death. He asks his childhood friend Jacques to help him end his days well. This unusual approach will lead the two friends to a peaceful end.

The Journey is the story of a father and daughter reunion. From Montreal’s airport, they will travel along a chaotic path, where their inability to find each other will unveil a complicated relationship and have them drift from their initial course.

Farid was three years old when his beloved father disappeared. The elders whispered that he had fled Morocco for another woman, never to return. Farid grew up in the shadow of this repressed absence, got married, and embarked on a promising career. Then, a letter from Montreal arrived. The truth came crashing down, cruelly, after decades of lies: it was at the request of Farid's mother that his father had left them, and it wasn't for another woman, but because he himself aspired to be one... So Farid set out to turn back time and meet the long-awaited mother he never met.
