Tadoussac

Tadoussac

58th TIFF: Greek Premiere

18-year-old Chloe leaves her apartment in Montreal and hitchhikes to Tadoussac, a small tourist village on the North Shore of Canada. In exchange for a room, she works at the youth hostel of the place, like many other young travelers. But Chloe’s behavior is peculiar. Why does she hide her identity? What is this house she constantly spies on? And who is this Myriam Harvey she seeks? A seemingly plain narrative hides in the core of this existentialist drama a series of mysteries, surprises, and twists, just like the snow hides all human traces in this area of the world.
