SYNOPSIS
A significant encounter with Élise, a transgender woman living in the Magdalen Islands, an archipelago of 12,000 inhabitants located in the heart of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec. The interviews conducted with her allow us to delve deep into the understanding of her reality, challenges, euphorias, values, and doubts. It is an intimate encounter, a dive into her living spaces, a close look at her universe that brings us closer to her essence, to what she is experiencing today, to what inhabits her.
