Les 12 Travaux d’Imelda - Tuesday, November 15

Hot Docs

7:00pm

Imelda, a larger-than-life character inspired by the director’s own grandmother, is a notary’s widow who lives in Gentilly, where she exercises a certain control over her family. With her landmark 100th birthday fast approaching, she’s restless, with old scores still to settle before any celebrations can begin. Structured as 12 ‘chapters’ chronicling her late years, Imelda faces a bucket-list of challenges exploring the ties that bind a family together. When that last Exit door must finally be walked through, will Imelda ever be able to leave in peace?
