…Truly a rare moment in Cinema! …Filmed with such intimacy and discretion, I’ve never seen something so tender… This film is a marvel! It had everything to satisfy me, in its execution and the grace of its characters… I cried, but I cried with a feeling of relief, because I felt less alone… Pénélope McQuad, Mélikah Abdelmoumen & Marc Béland, Pénélope – CBC Radio Canada, Montreal QC Sept 28th 2022

Tenderness, wonder, connection & dignity… honest stories that inspire not by manipulation, but by human beings fumbling their way toward something beautiful… a documentary about remarkable love that endures through all challenges… a beautiful film about beautiful people.
Richard Propes, 2022, The Independent Critic
