Synopsis

"I'm looking for a man, or should I say a ghost? Because when someone walks away, turns the corner and disappears... do they still exist? Can they ever be found? Do they ever come back?"
Julie, a Montréal teenager who lives alone in a vacant swimming pool spends her days following strangers. Abandoned by her father, she searches for the meaning of courage, love and desire in her observation of others. A longing for her father leads her to Hank, a lost guy from Alberta, who is seeking Veronique, an ex-lover he ditched one night in Mexico. Intrigued by Hank's obsession and the possibility of finding her father; Julie helps Hank in his quest.
