Alice, 39, single and unemployed can no longer win at this silly game. The unemployment office keeps sending her to job application trainings. Yet, Alice knows they won't lead her to stop waiting in line. Hence, one morning she decides to interrupt one of them. Her unemployment benefits are then reduced, and money gets tight. Her parents and friends have no idea of the kind of chaos in which Alice finds herself since she is a proficient liar. Her persistent search to be socially accepted cannot prevent her from getting lonelier and lonelier. She keeps herself stubbornly afloat with gas vouchers, which she gets for participating in market research, and tries to once again take control of her tattered life.

The Festival

The Val-Morin Author's Film Festival is a film festival that will take place for the first time this year from May 4 to 6 at the Théâtre du Marais in the municipality of Val-Morin. 

The festival will present international and Quebecois cinema. Although there will be awards, the festival is above all a place of cinematographic discovery, meetings and sharing. 

Highlighted are the works of creators expressing unique visions, personal points of view, while being accessible to the general public.
