Martine at the beach

Martine Racra’s life lacks focus. Between her family’s above-ground pool and an absent father, the fourteen-year-old is bored—until her optometrist neighbour, Gilbert Marcel, prescribes her first pair of glasses.

Martine falls madly in love. To see him again she intentionally damages her eyes. Looking through the distortion of her new glasses, she sees ghosts—ghosts of love. When she learns that Gilbert is taking his family on vacation to the beach in Old Orchard, she does everything she can to join him…

Martine at the Beach is an aquatic comedy that descends into extreme darkness. A mermaid with hallucinations, Martine dives below the waterline that separates fantasy from delusion.

The series has been nominated at the 25th TV festival of Luchon in the short format category.
