Synopsis
Gabrielle, an imaginative but fearful child, spends the summer at the cottage with her family. While her brother and sisters enjoy the last swims of the summer, the youngest shuts herself away indoors, accompanied by her dog and her many toys, too fearful of the sun and storms. Despite herself, Gabrielle will find herself exposed to the elements. Under the watchful eye of her family, the young child will gradually find the courage to face her fears.

DIRECTOR - BIO
Gabrielle Gingras is a director originally from Ville-Marie in Témiscamingue. She moved to Montreal for the Film Production program at Concordia, where she directed projects that were selected for several festivals. With her experience, Gabrielle graduated and launched herself into the professional world as an assistant director, where she successfully landed a series of contracts—film sets quickly became a second home. At the same time, she quickly began directing her own project, a short fiction film shot entirely in her native Témiscamingue. She explored themes that have long been close to her heart: meteorology, childhood fears, and family. The short film, titled Le temps des orages, is currently in distribution. Her next short film, titled Miss Météo, is currently in development.
