L’audition (2005)

August 7 @ 6pm

Chosen & introduced by Normand Dupont (Centre culturel Frontenac) // Part of Theatre Flick Picks, a series presented as part of the 2023 Kick & Push Festival.

At 40, Louis dreams of becoming an actor. A cousin helps him get an audition where he’ll be playing the role of a father leaving a final message to his son. With the help of a famous actor, he secretly rehearses his scenes, without even telling Suzie, the love of his life. But she also has a secret: she’s pregnant and doesn’t want her child to grow up in an atmosphere of violence. But with all their secrets, the desire to become parents and an uncertain future before them, it’s unclear how Louis and Suzie will find a future together.
