Felix and Meira

Hadas Yaron (Fill the Void) returns in Maxime Giroux's FÉLIX AND MEIRA, an unconventional love story between two people living vastly different lives. Meira (Yaron), a young Hasidic wife and mother unhappy in her life, and Félix (Martin Dubreuil), a man lost in mourning the recent death of his father, unexpectedly meet in Montreal's Mile End district. What starts as an innocent friendship becomes more serious as the two find comfort and freedom in one another. As Felix opens Meira's eyes to the world outside of her Orthodox community, her desire for change becomes harder for her to ignore. Giroux's film is a poignant tale of self-discovery and a modern love story set against backdrops both familiar and unknown.
