«Matthias and Maxime: the anti-Guillaume Canet friendship
Just one year after the Hollywood-style «My Life with John F. Donovan», the young prodigy of Quebec cinema returns to his roots with «Matthias et Maxime». The art of producing a work of fiction with his real-life gang of pals, while avoiding the trap of being too much of a goody-goody.

«Alice and the Mayor: stimulating without being breathtaking
Alice is a young woman fresh out of her philosophy studies. Coming from a brilliant background, she dreams of a successful career. However, when she moves to Lyon for a professional opportunity and is told that her job has been abolished, the opposite happens. She is then assigned to one of those perfectly useless functions: giving ideas to the mayor, who no longer possesses a single one after thirty years in politics. Only superficially useless: Alice will stimulate the mayor's mind. But beyond what's necessary for Lyon's political equilibrium.
