Passage will be available everywhere in Canada on March 19 via the online platforms of Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée and Cinéma Moderne. Depending on the date when cinemas will reopen, the film could also be released in theatres in March or later.

Synopsis
Gabrielle and Yoan are 18 years old. Even though they both grew up in Témiscamingue, their aspirations are opposite. While Yoan wants to leave the area to break away from his loneliness and explore his homosexuality, Gabrielle is torn at the thought of going over a hundred kilometres away from home to carry on with her studies. While summer is in full swing, Passage paints a poetic portrait of these two protagonists transitioning into adulthood, trying to blossom and chart their own path.
