Production Details

106 minutes, 1993

In 1967, Max, a rather smart alec teenager, and Catherine, who is much better behaved, are inseparable friends. Both girls study piano at the conservatory in Quebec City. At the age of 15, Max wins the top award in the year-end competition. That evening, she announces to her mother that she is pregnant. Her mother forces her to abandon the baby, which triggers a long and difficult downward spiral from which the young woman will not emerge for 25 years. Max returns to Quebec City in 1992 where, with Catherine’s help, she tries to find this son whose absence has ruined her life. She succeeds but the now-grown child refuses to meet her. An orphan, Denis, will help Max convince her son to see her again, a meeting that will finally take place in unexpected circumstances. Max then reconnects with life and the music she had given up a long time ago.
