Pénélope (Rose-Marie Perreault) has only recently given birth to Lou (Bastien Picard, Robin Picard), and this leaves her unhinged: I mean, sure she loves the little guy, but she never wanted a kit, and she*s also caught between her boyfriend and baby father (Simon Landry-Desy), a stoner and thus less than perfect dad, and her affair (Saladin Deliers), who's essentially a good guy but not fit with Pénélope's crazyness, And then there's also her guilt about her sister's (Marie Bélanger), who has dies many years ago, an event she has just never come to come over. All that in mind, it's no big surprise that she eventually breaks and enters a world between fantasy and reality that makes her make at times bizarre decisions ...

Now Nesting isn't an easy film to get into, mostly down to the film's main theme, post partum deptression, cranked up to 11, And the film's really more character- than story-driven, and rather slow-paced and at times even confusing. But if you're up for all of this, the film's also a pretty fascinating and compelling portrayal of a deeply troubled woman, helped only by a strong central performance. So in all, not a movie for everybody, but if you can get into this kind of drama you'll be richly rewarded.
