Storyline
Feng Xia, a 52-years-old Chinese immigrant, lives in Montreal with her husband and their two children. They look like a peaceful family, but husband and wife, are both going through their mid-life crisis. Feng Xia decides to confront a taboo that she has repressed since her youth: she’s a lesbian. She meets Camille, a 30-years-old Quebecer via a lesbian dating site and she develops a secret affair with her. The two lonely women experience both friendship and love, while helping each other through their respective crisis. Feng Xia is inhabited by a heartbreaking dilemma: respecting her family commitment or letting herself be carried away by the deliverance that her new love affair gives her. She has no choice but to face her fear and the powerful morality of her culture. This confrontation leads her to blossom sexually, to experience the youthful love she missed, and ultimately, to face her new destiny.
