Synopsis
An occasionally high-strung but thoroughly charming 84-year-old transgender lothario takes us on a rollercoaster ride where humour, manipulation and nostalgia are meticulously woven through the colourful memories of his love life and the emancipation of an LGBT community, while the presence of the camera confronts him with the harsh reality of aging.

Over the past fifteen years, after having worked in editing, sound recording and sound effects, Marie-Pierre Grenier has designed the sound design of numerous independent Quebec films. She has always been fascinated by documentaries, and in 2010 she obtained a diploma in documentary filmmaking from INIS. It is in this context that the short film Je les aime encore was created. This first work won several awards in Canada and internationally and earned him the title of Best Canadian Newcomer in ONF/INIS documentary. Six years later, she released her first feature film, entitled It's Alright MIChel.
