Curling
Drama
Set in a rural Québec village in the dead of winter, Jean-François, a single father, works at a deserted bowling alley at night and in a rundown motel during the day. His daughter, Julyvonne, never leaves their home. Jean-François isolates her in fear that contact with the outside world will scar her the way it has him.
VIBE
A stark, quiet portrait of rural isolation and suffocating parental love. It feels like being trapped in a frozen landscape, where every breath is heavy with unspoken grief and the weight of the past.
