In Me I Trust

"In me I trust" is a film centered on Grace, a 37-year-old embodying heartbreak in a fur coat, who searches for love as if seeking the emergency exit in a burning theater. Caught between stark honesty and an intense, desperate yearning, she navigates Montreal’s wintry Christmas streets in pursuit of a love that always seems just beyond her grasp. However, her fear of abandonment, like a shadow lurking nearby, makes her her own worst enemy. Love won’t rescue her this time. To survive, she must save herself, if she can. This bittersweet tragicomedy balances laughter and tears, unveiling the delicate intricacies and raw, unpolished beauty of the human heart and soul.
