In order to unlock the future she has dreamed of, a young up-and-coming orchestra conductor must learn to harness her past and long-repressed emotions.
Emma, a talented rising star on the Montreal stage, has a complicated relationship with her father, and agent, Patrick. 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. 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.
