Qu'est-ce qu'on fait ici?

Directed by Julie Hivon
Canada, 2014 (fiction, 97 minutes, colour, French)
Also known as "What Are We Doing Here?"

Film Description:
"How is happiness possible, between the craziest dreams and the cruellest doses of reality? That is the deep, fundamental question faced by four friends after the accidental death of Yan, a young architect who seemed to have everything going for him. First there's his friend and colleague Maxime. Then Lily, Maxime's sister, who had been seeing Yan for several months; Simon, a zoo employee with a troubled past; and Roxane, who can't reveal her true feelings to Maxime. Existential crises, the power of friendship, grief, rebuilding... Julie Hivon (Tromper le silence) tackles these serious topics with great sensitivity in this film, making the most of the energy and naturalism of Sophie Desmarais, Joëlle Paré-Beaulieu, Maxime Dumontier and Charles-Alexandre Dubé."
