Summary:

Antigone, an excellent student and exemplary member of the community, breaks the law by helping her brother escape from prison. As the noose tightens around her, she stands up to the authorities: the police, the judiciary, the prison system, and the father of her friend, Haemon. Antigone's staunch refusal to compromise and stifle her personal sense of justice is gaining the support of her peers, who are mobilizing on social media and in colorful demonstrations. Rejecting an offer that would secure her own future, Antigone chooses love and devotion to her family, an immigrant family.
An impressive metaphor of Sophocles' tragedy into modern reality

Antigone has been the director's favorite literary heroine since her youth. When he learned of the factual murder of a young man by police in Montreal and the subsequent deportation of his brother, he was shocked. The hatred that spread on social media after the incident alarmed her. He immediately began to think about how Antigone would react. The idea of the film had already been born in her.
Director Sophie Deraspi chose her lead among young girls who responded to the open call for the role. In total, 800 girls applied and eventually 300 went through a hearing process.
