François and Julie, a couple living in Montreal with their two children, feel a sense of stagnation in their relationship but remain devoted to each other and their family. Believing that opening their relationship might bring renewed happiness, only to find that new possibilities and partners make things far more complicated than expected. The film boldly and honestly explores the discovery of new sexual boundaries without judgment or shame, capturing remarkable depth through its reflections on love, commitment, and honesty in a world where all bodies are revealed in different ways. Follies, Boulianne’s debut feature, offers a daring look at the complexities of modern relationships and stands out as one of the funniest films of the year.
