À La Fontaine

Alice is a young Montreal student living alone with her mother. Like her classmates, she must choose a university program where she will continue her education. Nothing excites her and this worries her mother very much, who encourages her to talk to his favorite teacher. One spring morning, the principal of the school interrupts the lesson to make an announcement to the students. Last night, one of their classmates took his own life. His name eludes the whole class , except to Alice, who knew him very well. The rest of her day becomes a waltz with all the stages of grief, which jostles her simultaneously. No one around her has the tools to help her right now. When the sun goes down on this traumatic day, Alice only feels one thing: she is numb.
