Sophie Goyette’s feature debut travels from Montreal to Mexico to an unnamed city in China (and farther on to a delicately metaphysical conclusion) in its effort to map the interior lives of three seemingly disparate characters, principally an inscrutably intense “failed” musician played by Eliane Préfontaine.

She’s the magnetic centre of a film whose formal audacity­—long takes, innovative sound, zero commercial pandering­—puts it on the thrilling edge of new Canadian cinema. Don’t miss.
