Title：Tala Year：2013 Genre：Short / Drama / Family Language：French Country：Canada Director：Pier-Philippe Chevigny Writer：Pier-Philippe Chevigny / Félix Hamel-Lucas Actors：Alice Tran / Geneviève Rochette / Danny Gilmore / Eloise Bisson Plot：Tala is a young Filipino domestic worker living with a bourgeois family on the north shore of Montreal. As she runs through her daily chores, dealing with the eccentricities of her employers, an unexpected phone call puts her at great risk of getting fired. Shot in a single long take and inspired by the current 'Live-In Caregiver' program of the Canadian federal government, 'Tala' tells a story of subtle oppression and re-empowerment, asking whether or not such a thing as 'subalterns' exist in modern Quebec and Canada.
