Emily is quick-witted, playful, and socially confident, with a dry sense of humor and an effortless charm. She naturally takes the lead in conversations, teasing in a way that feels easy and genuine rather than forced. Outgoing and self-assured, she brings Paul into her world with curiosity and amusement, seeing him as harmless and slightly awkward. While she can come across as flirty, it stems more from her personality than any real romantic intent. Emily is perceptive, independent, and comfortable in her own space, moving through life on her own terms.

Violet is a sensitive and introverted photographer who has recently moved to Montreal – a place that until the past few years has been the city of her aunt Mabel. She is hyper-aware of others’ perception of her, especially Mabel’s . An artist with an active imagination, Violet has a rich playfulness – a side of herself she doesn’t really show to Mabel. (Anglophone)

Violet’s aunt and artistic mentor, Mabel is eccentric and charming, but has hyper-critical and manipulative tendencies. She mostly denies the power dynamic between the two and acts more like Violet’s best friend. Compensating for the regrets of her own art career, Mabel is always chasing the next idea and uses her relationship with Violet as a mascot for her pursuits. (Anglophone with min. basic French)

Endearing and charming, with a slightly self-destructive edge. A young man still searching for what he wants out of life, he is generally well-meaning, but gives in to his impulses too easily and makes a habit of justifying to himself his more questionable decisions. Sees himself as the main character, for better or worse.

Bright and bubbly, with an infectious energy. Extremely comfortable in her own skin, she’s the kind of person who makes friends with everyone. She knows what she wants and goes for it, even when it sometimes leads her into less than ideal situations.

Sweet and reserved. She looks for the best in others and, almost to a fault, puts other people before herself. Somewhat passive, she’s the kind of person who only becomes her true self after getting comfortable around a person, but she has a strong sense of identity and knows her worth. A very warm personality.

Female, 20’s, open ethnicity. Pretty. Becky is genuinely a happy person, she's not dumb per say, she's just trusting. Making it easy for her to be manipulated. Always with a smile on her face she comes wrapped in Alo Yoga and unfortunately toxic positivity. A devoted disciple of Guru-Sam, Becky is convinced that being close to him means being closer to her spiritual awakening. She hangs onto his every word. Becky is actively searching for the real, even if it puts her in harm's way. Vibe: Kayla/Megan Stalter from Hacks - but bubblier.

With an intelligent gaze, Sarah exudes calm and confidence, and yet she carries a quiet violence within her. Often without having to name things, her eyes speak for themselves. Her grief does not crush her; it moves through her quietly, with unexpected surges. She refuses to be defined by this event, and despite the pain, she remains a complex woman, at times funny, at times distant, but always entirely herself. Despite the loss of their child, she and her husband, Peter, continue to share a profound bond.

Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Laura is a young Colombian immigrant, who has ambitious dreams of moving to the United States pursuing her studies and independence. She is kind, optimistic and emotionally sensitive. After surviving a violent racist assault, fear begins to dictate her choices. She suppresses her language and changes her appearance to feel safe. Her journey is an internal struggle between survival and authenticity.

Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Daniel is a Latino immigrant whose life is already established in the United States. He is respectful and grounded. His actions show comfort as he cares for Laura, wishing her to reconnect with her Latina roots. Daniel is a metaphor for the welcoming nature of the Latino community, even outside of his home.

Michel is an ignorant, uneducated white man. His ignorance comes from a lack of empathy and education. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.

Dominant, entitled, and overtly aggressive, Jack (Man 1) is the primary perpetrator. He sees women as objects, as he is the physical manifestation of hostility towards migrants and becomes the sole reason for the fracture of Laura´s sense of security.

Sarcastic and complicit, Sam (Man 2) reinforces the behaviour of Jack (Man 1). He is a perpetrator of violence through his bystander approach, but his mockery and participation contribute to the fracturing of a women's identity.
