Trailer for Triptych.
Michelle runs a used bookstore in Quebec City, though she has had to spend some time in a psychiatric institution. Even upon release she still hears voices, still sees a little blond ghost from somewhere in her past. Thomas is a brain surgeon being forced into early retirement due to a tremor. He visits the Sistine Chapel and admires, with a twitch of envy, the elegance of God's eternally reaching hand, and sees in His kingdom echoes of the contours of the human brain. Marie is a Quebecois jazz singer performing in London, suddenly in need of emergency surgery. Thomas warns her that the procedure could result in temporary aphasia. She's terrified, but he reminds her that even if she can't form speech, she can still sing, wordlessly.
