During the winter of 1995, Mimi, a young girl grieves her best friend, Julie, who died suddenly in a car accident. For the first time in 14 years, death is possible. It hits so close that it shook and amputates those who remain. It paralyzes, causes anxiety, anger and sadness. Where I am is rooted in the harsh winter of Quebec region, Abitibi. It’s a film about absence, about the importance of ritual farewell. A film about art as a way to express the grief.
