Sylvie en liberté
Sylvie’s out of jail and back in town. She secretly visits her mother, trying to convince her to leave her violent husband. Facing her mother's refusal, Sylvie stays determined to enjoy every second of her new freedom. She rides her old chopper bicycle across the dirt roads, gets drunk, and thinks about kidnapping a neglected dog. But one thing is on Sylvie's mind: seeing her old lover, Coyote. Time flies, things change, and Sylvie must choose the only freedom available to her.

How far can you go to get justice? Sylvie, the main character in this short fiction film, takes us on a ride on her chopper bike through the 132. Her quest leads us to reflect on the concept of restorative justice and the desire for vengeance that often inhabits victims and their loved ones. In the end, it's a woman's deep sense of solidarity with her mother that triumphs, and that moved us.
