Subtitles
I believe this horrid movie was filmed in Canada. Subtitles are used except when english language is spoken.
The film has no character development, plot or ending. Just two aimless people wandering in space.
The movie shows a sad young Hasidic women, bored to tears with her life, and a guy (abut 40 years old) we know nothing about except that he had a broken relationship with his father. Very few words are spoken between the people and we know little about their life history and/or feelings.
My best guess ts that the film was made as a student project and some rich father of the writer/director had it distributed.
From The Promotional Material:
FÉLIX AND MEIRA is a calling card for its young director, Maxime Giroux. It is a story of an unconventional romance between two people living vastly different realities mere blocks away from one another. Each lost in their everyday lives, Meira, a Hasidic Jewish wife and mother and Félix, a secular loner mourning the recent death of his estranged father, unexpectedly meet in a local bakery in Montreal's Mile End district. What starts as an innocent friendship becomes more serious as the two wayward strangers find comfort in one another. As Felix opens Meira's eyes to the world outside of her tight-knit Orthodox community, her desire for change becomes harder for her to ignore, ultimately forcing her to choose: remain in the life that she knows or give it all up to be with Félix.
