Set on carrying out her task with dedication, Larissa Corriveau plays a woman obsessed with watching over anonymous interiors and occupying them. Nicknamed the “Guardian of Spaces” she is both a custodian of the premises and a ghostly presence. She becomes an echo of how we relate to time, solitude and the melancholy of forsaken spaces.
Mademoiselle Kenopsia had its North American Premiere on September 13, 2023 at the Toronto International Film Festival in the Wavelengths competition.
