The film will be featured in the Pushing the boundaries section, dedicated to works by established directors who push the boundaries of their medium in original ways. The festival organization writes that, in his thriller, Pascal Plante “attacks the dark underbelly of the human condition and fully immerses himself in the point of view of his female protagonist. ” In The red rooms, released in theaters this summer, a young woman attends the trial of a man accused of murdering three girls. Her resemblance to one of them pushes her to search for the last piece of the puzzle.
