Laughter

description

As a civil war shakes the province of Quebec, Valérie is the sole survivor of a mass execution in which her boyfriend is killed. Years later, she’s in a close relationship with her new partner, Gabriel. At the Long Term Care Center where she works as a caregiver, she befriends Jeanne, a well-read and funny woman, who is dealing with severe physical disability. On the edge of science-fiction and realism, LAUGHTER explores the survivor guilt phenomenon, both for the victims and persecutors, throughout love, laugh and time.
