Film Description:
"Quebec, late 19th century, summer. Yvonne is 20 years old, an age of possibility, of absolutes—and emotional confusion. She is torn by her intense feelings for the natural world around her, and her obligation to repress these feelings and passions, as required by the strict moral code of Victorian society. That summer, Yvonne's world is turned upside down as the result of a dream, her passionate desire for a man, and the strange 'return' of her mother, who had died giving birth to her. A confusing turn of events soon follows. Yvonne becomes resolutely aware of her body and the strength of her desires. Despite the challenges she faces—or perhaps because of them—Yvonne discovers who she really is and forges her own destiny."
