Storyline
Camille and Martin are in love and teachers at a christian college; they get the opportunity to get a better job, but they would have to marry for that. But when Camille's dog dies, she recognizes that her love for Martin is not even as big as the love for her dog. After that, Camille gets to know Petra, and Petra falls in love with Camille. They meet again, but Camille is very unsure about her feelings. When Martin is away for a weekend, Camille and Petra meet in the Circus where Petra is working as an acrobat. They spend the night together, but Martin finds out about it and is shocked. He has an argument with Camille, and she goes burying her dog in the snow, and falls asleep...

A gorgeous, sensual delight. This is one of the most beautiful movies i have
ever seen. It is hard to come by honest romantic lesbian movies and catching
this one on TV was certainly one of the highlights in the past years.
The movie managed to provoke many emotions in me, from joy, to anger, to
deep sorrow and everything in between. It got me started to look into the
Canadian movie scene more, especially on this type of topic, as there are
excellent examples out there, this being a prime one.
Since accidentally buying this film a week ago, I've been watching it almost
everyday. It is a very moving piece, incredibly romantic and beautifully shot. I have no expertise on movie direction but all credit goes to Patricia for her
creativity. Apart from being incredibly gorgeous, the leading ladies gave a very moving performance, which intern moved me.
