The film follows two women reeling from the loss of their mutual friend by suicide. One woman’s openness to the pain counters the other’s avoidance, ultimately leading them towards an unexpected connection that stirs something more hopeful in both of their hearts. The story is set in Montréal, its distinctive bilingual culture acting as a gesture of separation at the beginning of the story, and connection at the end. 'Les Câlins Cheaps' speaks to the importance of mental health awareness, suicide prevention and the growing need for connection in this increasingly disconnected world.
