Canada\u2019s foreign-language Oscar nominee for 2014, Gabrielle <\/i>is a big-hearted drama\u00a0about a young woman with Williams syndrome who has a genuine and infectious zest\u00a0for life. Like most young adults, Gabrielle longs for independence, but when she falls in\u00a0love with a young man in her choir, both the families and social workers worry that the\u00a0two won\u2019t be able to handle an adult relationship.<\/p>\n
As the choir prepares for an important performance, Gabrielle must confront other people\u2019s prejudices with courage and overcome her own limitations.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the surface, it\u2019s a simple love story: girl meets boy, girl likes boy, girl kisses boy. But Louise Archambault\u2019s Gabrielle <\/i>is much more\u2026a deeply affecting tale of difference, dignity and the healing power of song.\u201d
