The Girl Who Was Never Born

90 MIN.

Written and Directed by Bruno Lazaro

Migration takes many forms.

On the road in rural Quebec, a girl searches for a man who emigrated to the area long ago whom she believes might be her father. In a small town, she meets a local boy who becomes smitten by her and her mysterious quest. He joins the girl in the search, travelling from town to town, motel to motel, along the Saint Lawrence River. They forge a strangely magnetic bond but she is not of this world. She is bound to a fleeting parallel existence, determined to unravel the Mediterranean tragedy of never being born.

Forever is a good word.

Erica is a documentary filmmaker who has just returned from filming at the Saharawi refugee camps in Africa. Arriving on the coast in southern Spain to meet her boyfriend, Marc, she discovers he has vanished when he was hang-gliding over the ocean. Thinking the Coast Guard search is ineffective, she begins her own search with the help of Marc’s best friend, David. As they search the lush mountainous coast, she struggles with a growing mutual attraction between them but then, one day, she wakes up in bed with Marc. He convinces her that his disappearance and her desperate search are just a nightmare she has been having. Finally together, they head out to their favourite beach. Erica is sure now that she adores Marc. But Marc is no longer among the living, and he wants her to join him forever.
