The cast also includes Sébastien Ricard and Hélène Florent as Maria's parents Samuel and Laura Chapdelaine, as well as Gilbert Sicotte, Gabriel Arcand, Danny Gilmore, Martin Dubreuil, Arno Lemay, Charlotte St-Martin, Thomas Haché, Henri Picard and Xavier Rivard-Désy.

The film was originally slated for theatrical release on December 18, 2020, in Canada, but the release was postponed to 2021.[5] It premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival,[6] in advance of its commercial release on September 24.[7]

Synopsis

Maria Chapdelaine is a young sixteen-year-old girl who lives with her family on the shores of the Peribonka River in rural Quebec in the 1910s. The Chapdelaine family works tirelessly to push the limits of the forest. Where the harshness of everyday life meets the delicacy of a warm family life, the strong and hopeful Maria finds herself faced with daunting dilemmas. Between tradition, territory, family and love, young Maria is pushed into the real world and will suddenly have to choose her future as a woman.
