Kiki is a solitary painter, Ariel is a politician and a mother. Can their friendship survive the passions and disappointments that rock their lives? With elements of romantic intrigue and adultery sketched on a studio background, the story could easily turn into a farce. Instead, co-authors and performers Sylvie Drapeau and Isabelle Vincent have crafted a heartwarming ode to friendship and its power to bring us to a greater understanding of ourselves.
