About This Movie

Felix and Meira is a captivating exploration of identity and liberation. Set against the backdrop of Montreal's Orthodox Jewish community, the film captures the tension between tradition and personal freedom.

The performances, particularly from the leads, are heartfelt and nuanced, drawing you into their world of unfulfilled desires. You get a sense of the quiet, almost palpable atmosphere that permeates their encounters. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t distract—rather, they serve the narrative, enhancing the emotional stakes. It’s a story about mourning, love, and the search for self, all wrapped in a beautifully crafted visual language. Very distinctive in its approach.
