In the mid-1960s, two teenage girls travel to Quebec City for the Winter Carnival. Full of wonder and life, they seem happy and carefree. They soon find that love can be bittersweet, and friendship can have a darker side. How did the filmmaker convey those feelings? Do you think he showed a good grasp of female psychology and its subtleties? How do music and silence function in this film? Can you think of a moment or a scene where you felt a state of weightlessness? What does the use of close-ups in the film mean to you? Lastly, what is the symbolic purpose of Champlain’s bed in the film?
