Storyline
In the heart of Toronto, a weary photographer drifts through a life drained of color—until an afternoon with his young daughter rekindles the joy and beauty he thought he’d lost.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Julien | Male 26 - 30 Years old |
Description Quiet, introspective photographer caught between the beauty of his personal art and the soullessness of his client work. Speaks French fluently with a natural, unforced accent. Emotional range: gentle warmth with his daughter, visible heaviness in solitude. Comfortable with long, silent takes. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | JOIE | Female 5 - 10 Years old |
Description Bubbly, curious, and full of life. Speaks French fluently (Québécois preferred). Natural charm, expressive without overacting. Able to memorize short lines in French and perform playful, physical scenes (running, skipping, playing). | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | CAMILLE | Female 26 - 30 Years old |
Description Warm yet guarded. A mother with a complicated history with Julien. Speaks French fluently. Able to convey deep emotional subtext with subtle expression. | ||
