November is a peripatetic experience in search of the many souls who make up the city of Montreal, in that seasonal no man's land between colorful autumn and pristine winter, well known for its bent toward grouchiness. It’s an excursion through the streets of the city with its constant movement, a peek into the alienation of the modern urban world. November is the story of mixed Montreal identities in search of meaning and light.

Les glaneuses is a small media company, created by documentary makers Karine van Ameringen and Iphigénie Marcoux-Fortier. Since 2003, the two women have been wearing out the soles of their shoes at home and abroad, following those sinuous paths that lead to surprising human encounters.
They have co-directed and co-produced several short films – "When Are You Coming Back?” (2005), Dear Rosalía (2008), Here we remain *(2010), *The Indians, the Eagle and the Turkey (2014) – and the feature film At the Threshold (2013). Their second feature, November is currently in production. Their films are poetic tales with a human face, addressing topics as varied as ethnic tourism, exoticism, indigeneity, identity, intercultural encounters, exile, absence and death.
