Not with Fat Sophie

Simon is 14 years old and, like most teenagers, he is struggling through this thankless period. He is uncomfortable in his body and has lived for a long time in the shadow of his friend Stéphane, who is more handsome and more popular than him.

Madwoman of God

This feature-length film tells the story of the passion between Marie de l’Incarnation, a mid-seventeenth-century nun and God, her "divine spouse." Fusing documentary and acting by Marie Tifo, whom we follow as she rehearses for this demanding role, the film paints an astonishing portrait of this mystic who abandoned her son and left France to build a convent in Canada, where she became the first female writer in New France.
