The preparations for the Christmas holidays turn into a nightmare for a mother of three children of whom she shares custody with her ex-husband.

2008 film directed by Simon Lavoie

Un cyclone est un phénomène météorologique qui se produit quand on doit gérer 3 enfants, une job de travailleuse autonome, un ex et sa nouvelle blonde trop jeune, des horaires de garde, des repas, l’école, les lunchs, la nouvelle employée… Et dans l’œil de ce Cyclone se trouve Isabelle, 39 ans, mère célibataire qui a la charge mentale de tout ce beau monde en plus d’avoir à supporter une sœur meilleure qu’elle dans tout, une mère qui lui rappelle que sa sœur est meilleure qu’elle dans tout et une vie amoureuse désertique.

A 12-year-old girl finds herself stranded on a lonely Caribbean island with a 20-year old retarded man in this sensitively rendered Canadian drama from Quebec. Emile and Cedrine are first seen during their rescue in which both are nearly in a coma. Their story of how they got there and survived is told via flashback. The two were the only survivors of a plane crash and at first Cedrine is terrified of Emile, thinking he might lose control and rape her. Fortunately, Emile is gentle and the two become friends, playmates, and eventually lovers in scenes that exploit neither character.

A 12-year-old girl faces a father she hardly remembers after his transition into a woman.
