Some Girls

Michael travels to Quebec City at Gabriella's request to spend Christmas with her family. He endures a long wait at the airport before Gabriella finally arrives to pick him up. She explains that sometimes they just don't answer their phones, and Michael tries to hide his frustration, choosing to be happy to see her.

At the house, Michael meets Gabi's odd family: a father who spends most of his time nude except for a towel, a quiet religious mother, and Father Walter the priest. He also meets the sisters Irenka and Simone and the handyman Nick. Michael attempts to fit in with their unusual habits, feeling both intrigued and overwhelmed.

The family matriarch Granny is ill, a situation that partly explains why Gabi left college. Michael tries to join in the family rituals, but he quickly realizes the dynamics are more complicated than he expected. The atmosphere is tense as the illness shadows every interaction.

When a moment allows, Michael expresses his condolences to Gabi's mother, a gaffe that the family deems unforgivable. The moment reveals the fragility of the household and the delicate line between sympathy and intrusion. The fallout colors his attempts to connect with Gabi.

In a private moment, Gabi tells Michael that she no longer loves him. He clings to hope, trying to change her mind, but her feelings remain elusive and fickle. The revelation marks the beginning of a shifting, turbulent relationship.

Irenka and Simone flirt with Michael, testing the limits of the fragile romance and pulling him into games. Gabi appears to participate, adding a layer of ambiguity to her feelings. The romantic tension intensifies as Michael navigates the sisters' advances.

Granny, living in a care facility, acts as if Michael is her late husband and tries to find him. She escapes and heads to the countryside estate they once shared after their marriage. Michael, Nick, and the sisters hurry to the estate to find her before she freezes in the cold.

While searching for Granny, Michael becomes lost in the woods and falls into a hole. He hears footsteps and discovers Granny, who helps him out and escorts him back to the house. Inside, he lights a fire and helps Granny out of her wet clothes, beginning an unexpected bond between them.

Granny heals and shares stories with Michael, treating him with a tenderness that contrasts with the chaos around them. They form an unusual emotional connection that softens the hard edges of the family turmoil. The moment deepens Michael's feelings and complicates the already tangled relationships.

On the return trip, Granny falls ill and dies, despite Nick's valiant attempt to reach a hospital in time. The family grieves as the tragedy shifts the dynamic around Gabi. Michael processes the loss and the strange bond he formed with Granny.

After Granny's funeral, Michael shares a late-night moment with Irenka, leading to a private tryst that reveals the undercurrents of desire within the family circle. The event unsettles the already fragile balance between Michael and Gabi's circle. Secrets begin to surface and complicate loyalties.

Michael visits Granny's grave and encounters a mysterious young woman who resembles Granny in her youth. He confesses that he deeply loved Granny and senses a supernatural possibility in their meeting. The scene blurs the line between memory, love, and the afterlife.

Returning home, Michael and the family drift apart, and he never sees Gabi or her family again. Gabi has decided not to return to college, choosing a different path. The Christmas visit ends with an unsettled silence and unresolved feelings.
