FELIX & MEIRA
Dir: Maxime Giroux 105 minutes
French/English/Yiddish
Cast: Martin Dubreuil, Hadas Yaron, Luzer Twersky
An unusual romance blossoms between two lost souls who inhabit the same neighbourhood but vastly different worlds. Meira, a young Hasidic Jewish mother in Montreal's Mile End district, secretly rebels against her faith by listening to soul music and taking birth control pills; Félix is a loner grieving the recent death of his estranged father.
Intrigued by Meira, Félix hopes her religious devotion will provide insight into his loss, and though she rebuffs him at first, a mutual affection soon arises between the two. As Meira's desire for change becomes harder for her to hide, the young woman is faced with a stark choice: remain within the
community she has always known, or pursue an uncertain future outside of it.
