Across various timelines and locations, four characters weave a web of stories that explore human resilience in the face of environmental upheaval. Marie, gripped by obsessive, heart-wrenching questions as a young mother whose child faces a dead-end future, channels her anxiety into passionate activism. Terence, a climate refugee, tells strangers his story in the hopes of finding asylum in the North. McKenzie, a state security officer, breaks the chains of the system to take control of his fate and feel alive at last. Then Kira, a soldier, deserts the army to join a nomadic tribe who are the guardians of humanist values. Waiting for the Storms is a fable about the climate crisis that transcends artistic boundaries to spark a dialogue between our past, present and future.
In the presence of director François Delisle, film composer Robert Marcel Lepage and other guests from the École de musique de l’Université de Sherbrooke.
