How it feels

Nine directors each make a short film about communication problems. All the segments connect to a self-help guru giving a seminar. The movie jumps between different stories about people failing to connect with each other.

Roy's theatrical play 9 Variations on the Void (Neuf variations sur le vide), the film is an anthology of nine short films by nine different film directors on the theme of communication difficulties, unified by the common narrative element of a conference on communication by self-help guru Marc Gélinas (played by Roy). Segments were directed by Roy, Claude Brie, Érik Canuel, Jean-Philippe Duval, Marc Labrèche, Micheline Lanctôt, Luc Picard, Éric Tessier and Ricardo Trogi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
