Ultra strong

Written and directed by Catherine Lepage

Produced by Christine Noël

Set firmly in 1980s Quebec, the animated short ULTRA STRONG relates the story of Catherine, a shy, romantically inclined teenager who believes desperately in the idea of a prince charming rather than herself. With the help of her life coach – who steps right out of a heavy metal poster – she learns to hide her vulnerability and tries in vain to fit in with others, toughen up, and be more confident.
