“Life passes through films.”

In this deeply intimate documentary, Quebec filmmaker André-Line Beauparlant turns the camera on her own life to better understand the work and the existence of her partner, filmmaker Robert Morin.

As the image—composed of film excerpts, behind-the-scenes footage, conversations, and personal archives—reveals both the inner workings and the hidden underside of their collaboration in cinema and in life, the narration unfolds as a dual biography, reflecting on love, obsession, the passage of time, and death.

Guided by a profound desire to truly encounter the other, Mon amour : c’est pour le restant de mes jours is a love letter, a diary of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: one that envisions creation as a plural, shared act.

In world premiere and in competition

The film is presented in International Competition – Feature Films and National Competition – Feature Films, in the presence of the filmmaker and the film team.

A graduate in film studies from the Université de Montréal and in scenography from the National Theatre School of Canada, André-Line Beauparlant first established herself as an art director on more than twenty significant auteur films, including Gaz Bar Blues (2003), Incendies (2010), and Tu dors Nicole (2014). She began her directing career with Trois princesses pour Roland (2001), awarded at Hot Docs, followed by Le petit Jésus (2004), Panache (2007), and Pinocchio (2015). Her intimate and sensitive cinema explores memory, transmission, and human connections through a deeply personal approach.
