Michele, a divorced aerobics instructor with a gambling addiction, loses her job and seeks refuge with a childhood friend, Janine, who lives in a seemingly comfortable middle-class suburban neighborhood. Michele's rebellious teenage daughter, Marguerite, and Janine's shy and reserved daughter, Gabrielle, become friends and soon Marguerite has introduced Gabrielle to a world of promiscuity and vice. Familia explores the mother/daughter dynamic and how character traits are passed on between generations: is it possible to avoid passing on to our children those traits that we despise in ourselves? Canada. In French with English subtitles. Winner - Best Canadian First Feature at the Toronto Int'l Film Festival.
