On November 5th 2017, the Hotel-Dieu de Montréal hospital closed its doors on 375 years of care and history. In her previous film The Last Breath filmmaker Annabel Loyola captured its living memory. In Les âmes errantes, she returns to the site, now unoccupied, to soak up the silence and listen to the echoes of the past echoing within its walls.
