“Chinese American actress and director Joan Chen plays a married woman who moves her family to Canada for a better life, only to discover a far different life as she falls in love with another woman in the trailer for writer and director Xiaodan He’s indie drama Montréal, ma belle (Montreal, My Beautiful).
Chen learned to speak French to play Feng Xia, a 53-year-old Chinese mother who over a summer in Montreal falls in love with Camille (Charlotte Aubin), a young Quebecois woman she discovers on a dating site. And that awakens a long-buried sexual desire from her youth.”
Montreal, My Beautiful will be in theaters February 13, 2026.
