Emma is a young conductor and rising star on the Montreal scene. Happy Days chronicles her complex relationship with her father and agent Patrick, who has maintained a devious hold over her since childhood. The possibility of obtaining an important position within a prestigious orchestra only increases the stakes for Emma. She will have to give way to her true emotions and make choices, as much for her music as for herself, if she wants to successfully navigate her career and her romantic relationship with Naëlle, a newly separated cellist and mother of a boy.
« The filmmaker’s script turns out to be very well constructed and its protagonist wonderfully complex. Sophie Desmarais does honor to this score: her performance is a tour de force. »
★★★★ – LE DEVOIR« Sylvain Marcel and Sophie Desmarais offer magnificent performances, sometimes explosive, but above all made of 1000 nuances. »
★★★★ – LE SOLEIL« Chloé Robichaud signs her most personal and accomplished film. »
★★★½ – LA PRESSE
*Only available in Canada
