J’ai placé ma mère

Special screening with filmmaker Denys Desjardins in attendance

In the style of a film diary, this documentary immerses us in the personal experience of the filmmaker and his sister as they try to ensure their mother can end her days with dignity in the CHSLD system. Amid this complex challenge, Denys Desjardins films his mother with incredible tenderness. He communicates her vulnerability and warm personality from a place of love and respect. This feature-length film is a continuation of the documentary work on the housing of seniors that the filmmaker began in his previous film Le Château (The Castle), in the web series L’industrie de la vieille$$e and in the web fiction experience 2031.Quebec.
