Behind me … [Derrière moi]. presented by the director Raphaël Ouellet
Betty, a woman with a mysterious past, arrives in a small Quebec town on vacation. Bored, she ends up striking up a friendship with lonely fourteen-year-old Lea, a young girl who works part-time at the hotel where Betty is staying. Gradually, Betty introduces Lea to the pleasures of overindulgence, dragging her to parties with slightly older and more experienced kids where booze and other intoxicants are plentiful. As the two women grow closer, it soon appears that things are moving too quickly for Lea.
