The Five of Us

The film was directed and co-written by Ghyslaine Côté, and stars Jacinthe Laguë, Julie Deslauriers, Ingrid Falaise, Brigitte Lafleur, and Noémi Yelle.

The film follows four girls who strive to move on from the murder of their friend and the horrors of their past once they discover the man behind their trauma, Richard Thibodeau, is said to be granted conditional release from prison.

Manon (Jacinthe Laguë), Anne (Julie Deslauriers), Isa (Ingrid Falaise), Claudie (Brigitte Lafleur), and Sophie (Noemie Yelle) are all childhood friends.

Manon quickly develops a romantic interest for the stranger, while Sophie remains suspicious of his behavior.

As the rowboat approaches land, Isa discovers Manon in the forest, stabbed and covered in blood.

Manon drives into a car wash, and recognizes the stranger that was responsible for her traumatic experience.

Manon collects and reviews the court files only to discover that the parole board granted the stranger, Richard Thibodeau (Peter Miller), conditional release.

Sophie's mother admits that she had pardoned Thibodeau because she was exhausted, and wanted to move forward.

Manon reveals that she had asked Sophie's parents for permission to return to the cottage, which was granted.

She makes the decision to invite all of the girls on a trip to the cottage in hopes to leave her experience in the past and move on from her trauma.

Back in Montreal, Stéphane studies the case files in the library and uncovers Manon's past.

After the girls have a heated discussion on Thibodeau's release, Manon spots Isa on a rowboat returning to the crime scene.

It is revealed that Isa had found Sophie's lifeless body, stabbed and chained to a tree.

Manon couldn't handle the trauma and attempted to escape, which resulted in Thibodeau murdering Sophie as a consequence for her actions.

Manon leaves a tape for Thibodeau, expressing her thoughts and feelings towards him and her freedom of the trauma.
