When Laura tells Henri that she has landed the lead role in Sylvain Pastrami’s new film, the fragile balance of their relationship wavers. Henri, a failed and anxious writer, becomes a monster of jealousy as his girlfriend shines under the lecherous gaze of the unbearable director and his “entourage.” Henri slips into the pathetic, and then Dr. Von Strudel piles on with her unprecedented diagnosis, the “turtle syndrome,” which will leave him deformed and suffering within two years. How can Henri measure up to Quebec cinema’s golden boy and win back Laura’s love?
