MONTRÉAL, MA BELLE

Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant living in Montreal, has spent her life shaped by a sense of duty to her family, her culture, and a loveless marriage. Until one beautiful summer day, when she becomes aware of a long-buried desire… Her encounter with Camille shakes her up to the point of making a radical decision.
Drawing on her own experience as an immigrant, legendary actress Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Twin Peaks) delivers a haunting and subtle performance. This screenplay explores age, sexuality, and cultural dislocation and marks not only a milestone in the history of Chinese diaspora cinema but also in the history of lesbian cinema.
