Emma, a talented rising star on the Montreal stage in her early thirties, has a complicated relationship with her father and agent, Patrick, who has maintained a devious hold on her since childhood. Aware she is not reaching her full potential, she must decide if she is willing to do what it takes to succeed by facing her past and tapping into her emotions. The possibility of an important position with a prestigious orchestra only raises the stakes for Emma. If saving her career wasn’t enough pressure, she must also save a budding romantic relationship with Naëlle, a newly separated cellist and mother of a young boy, who offers her the chance to experience an entirely different type of family dynamic. Emma will have to give way to her true feelings and make choices, both for her music and for herself.
