Each lost in their everyday lives\, Meira (Hadas Yaron)\, a Hasidic Jewish wife and mother and Félix (Martin Dubreuil)\, a Secular loner mourning the recent death of his estranged father\, unexpectedly meet in a local bakery in Montreal’s Mile End district. What starts as an innocent friendship becomes more serious as the two wayward strangers find comfort in one another. As Felix opens Meira’s eyes to the world outside of her tight-knit Orthodox community\, her desire for change becomes harder for her to ignore\, ultimately forcing her to choose: remain in the life that she knows or give it all up to be with Félix. Giroux’s film is a poignant and touching tale of self-discovery set against the backdrops of Montreal\, Brooklyn\, and Venice\, Italy. \nAwards: \nNominated\, Audience Choice Award\, Chicago International Film Festival\, 2014\nNominated\, Best Film\, San Sebastián International Film Festival\, 2014\nWon\, Best Canadian Feature Film\, Toronto International Film Festival\, 2014\nWon\, Best Actor (Hadas Yaron)\, Best Director (Maxime Giroux)\, Best Screenplay\, Best Canadian Feature\, Whistler Film Festival\, 2014 \n
