“Making documentaries means accepting that life flows through the film”. In this daringly intimate documentary, André-Line Beauparlant turns her camera towards the life and work of her lover, filmmaker Robert Morin. Through a collage of film excerpts, archival footage, recorded discussions, and personal photographs, she reveals the ins and outs and the highs and lows of their collaboration on, off, and behind the screen. Tracing a double biography that contemplates love, obsession, death, and the passage of time, This Love, These Days is a love letter, a journal of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: to imagine artmaking as a coming together.

Struck by an arrow, a moose escapes its pursuers to die deep in the forest, feasting on its fellow creatures. First wasps, flies and beetles, then crows, eagles, vultures, and finally all the carnivorous mammals of the boreal forest. The banquet is the occasion for games, rituals and conflicts between species and between rivals from the same families. By spring, there’ll be nothing left of the giant but the silhouette of his body imprinted on nature.
Robert Morin
