Rachel, a 17 year old teenager, waits on the street-bench across the street
from the women's prison in east end Montreal. She is too lucid about the
people around her, about what's going on in general and it hurts. Her rage
to live seems to be hurling from within her.
Inside the prison, Jeanne, a contemporary dancer, is purging a short
sentence with steel-like good patience which she maintains by following an
intense physical training program.
She becomes friendly with Odile, a non-working mother whose break down
precipitated a destructive rampage. She was imprisoned for the minor
property damages done.
The day Jeanne is released from prison, Rachel, instinctively, follows her.
Little by little she manages to become part of Jeanne's life. Jeanne can
recognize the fault line's in the personality of the young woman and helps
her with the only tool she knows : dance.
Jeanne and Odile can see that Rachel's talent for dance allows her to
transcend her depression ; contemporary dance, a dance where her revolt
finds expression, opens her up to others, to her sexuality, to the first
measures of self-fulfillment as an artist.
And just as Rachel is coming of age, at the moment she least suspects it's
presence, her destiny will have her confront violence once more.
