A couple’s final journey through terminal illness, love, and loss.

Simon and Marianne is an unforgettable exploration of love, mortality, and the human spirit. Directed by Pier-Luc Latulippe and Martin Fournier, this poignant documentary delves into one of life’s most profound challenges: facing terminal illness within a relationship. As Simon grapples with a devastating cancer diagnosis, he and Marianne confront the inevitable with raw honesty, reflecting on their shared past and uncertain future.

The film doesn’t just rely on words to convey the depth of their emotions. In the silences, the tender glances, and the quiet moments, the filmmakers capture a profound intimacy. The exquisite cinematography and evocative soundscape immerse the audience in their world, allowing us to feel every moment of their journey.

Simon and Marianne is an experience that prompts us to reconsider our own lives. We are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of treasuring the moments we have. This is a film that will stay with you long after the credits roll, challenging you to reflect on what truly matters.
