Louise

Overview

Forty-year-old Joanne Guiberry runs a modest hairdressing salon in Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon. Twice a year, at each solstice, she brightens up her rather dull life by meeting up with her lover. Twice a year, on the other side of the sea, on the banks of the immense St. Lawrence River, three hundred thousand snow geese land with a thunderous roar for a few weeks of feasting during their migration. Like a bridge between the time of the solstices and the time of the birds, there is Manon, a twenty-year-old student, and Louise, a large, wounded goose. Louise and Manon, each in their own way, will experience love and give Joanne a new lease on freedom.
