Directed by Carole Laure

Film Synopsis

Rose belongs to that rare breed of young women who appear not to have been spoiled or disillusioned by life.  A professional dancer, barely twenty years old, she has a poise and maturity that belie her innocence.   She leads a perfectly settled life in Montreal with her boyfriend Nathan, and no one would suspect that behind this placid, easy-going exterior there could be such a quantity of silent suffering.  Rose may not show it, but she is still tormented by her past, in particular by the father who traumatised her when she was growing up with his manic outbursts of violence.  She shudders when she recalls how her brother and mother also suffered under the tyrant's abuse.

Two years after leaving home to pursue her own life, Rose returns to her family, have made up her mind to straighten a few things out.  Her plan is to tame her wild father and turn him into a civilised and compassionate human being.  To this end, she arranges for him to be picked up and secured in a locked apartment that she has rented for this purpose.  Now that she has finally got her life on track, Rose is determined to make a changed man of her father - even if it kills her.  Unfortunately, her father is the most implacably unalterable of individuals, and it will take more than Rose's determined efforts to change him for the better...
