Acclaimed actress Joan Chen (The Last Emperor, Twin Peaks, Lust, Caution, Didi) stars in Montréal, ma belle (Montreal, My Beautiful), a deeply emotional family drama and May-December lesbian love story from Chinese-Canadian director Xiaodan He (A Touch of Spring)

Feng Xia (Chen), a 53-year-old Chinese immigrant and mother living in Montreal, has spent her life shaped by duty — to her family, her culture, and a loveless marriage. But when she meets Camille, a spirited young Québécoise, a long-buried desire is awakened. In the balmy and joyful Montreal summer, Feng Xia takes the radical step of choosing herself — embarking on a journey of forbidden love and long-overdue self-discovery. Her awakening becomes a profound reckoning with identity, exile, and the steep cost of liberation.
