Vide de toi

There are a thousand and one ways to be widowed, and just as many ways to pick yourself back up. From the man struggling with everyday tasks to the woman whose social calendar is full of outings with friends and dates, to the 80-year-old who finally finds the courage to come out… Becoming a widow or widower is a challenge that quite literally turns your world upside down, and one that 2 million Canadians can empathize with. Karine Marceau’s latest documentary film Vide de toi dissects the phenomenon through encounters with endearing individuals whose partners have passed away, and who help viewers see the behind the curtain of this difficult stage in life.
