Éternelle timide et totalement incomprise, Aurélie Laflamme (Verville), 14 ans, se sent un peu comme une extraterrestre sur l’étrange planète qu’est la nôtre, surtout depuis la mort de son père il y a cinq ans. Sa mère et ses professeurs ont du mal à la cerner, et pis encore, sa meilleure amie sort avec un garçon complètement nul. Mais pourquoi ne se sent-elle jamais à sa place? Elle ne peut pas vraiment venir d’une autre planète… pas vrai?

Inspirée du premier roman de l’auteure québécoise India Desjardins, cette charmante histoire de passage à l’âge adulte a tout pour plaire… même à un extraterrestre.

This touching documentary, narrated by Ryan Reynolds, tells the story of a young killer whale, Luna, who gets separated from his family on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. As rambunctious and surprising as a visitor from another planet, Luna endears himself to the community with his determination to make contact, leading to many unexpected consequences.

The Whale charts the community’s struggle to deal with Luna, since whales who are separated from their pods rarely survive in the wild. Raising more questions than it can answer, the film is a truly compelling exploration of our relationship with animals.

“The issues surrounding the emotional lives of animals — and the often presumptuous assumption of humans that they comprehend them — are explored in The Whale with a quiet dignity and gorgeous images.” — Andy Webster, New York Times
