The series continues on April 22 with “Amour Apocalypse” by Anne Émond, a Quebec dramedy starring Patrick Hivon, Piper Perabo, and Gilles Renaud. The story follows Adam, a hypersensitive kennel owner whose life is turned upside down when he meets Tina, a radiant woman he encounters by chance while calling the technical support line for a light therapy lamp. Between strange phenomena and emotional upheaval, an unlikely and touching love story unfolds.

Then, on May 27, the program will feature “Montréal, My Beautiful” by Xiaodan He. This drama tells the story of Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant living in Montréal who has spent her life in quiet obedience to family, culture, and a marriage built on unspoken expectations. When she meets Camille, a free-spirited young Québécoise woman, a long-suppressed desire resurfaces. Under the sweltering Montréal summer, Feng Xia embarks on a deeply personal journey toward freedom and self-discovery.

More screenings will be announced soon, stay tuned!
