    Chastity

    Sylvie Rosenthal 2003 Canada Fiction color 22min Betacam
    Marie, a postulant for seven years in an order of nuns, decides to take her perpetual vows and commit herself to a life in the church. Or maybe not. She's deeply attracted to Trevor, a social worker at the refugee centre she runs. Handsome, funny and kind, he respects Marie's devotion to God, but also finds himself falling in love with her. Despite her strong conviction that her love of God will triumph over her love of Trevor, Marie is torn by her desires. Unable to untangle herself from this tug-of-war between two conflicting passions Marie prays for some kind of divine intervention.

In Montreal, she directed and produced a benefit performance of The Vagina Monologues in French. Rosenthal's first 35mm short film, La Bombe au Chocolat, which she wrote, directed and produced, was screened at over 20 national and international film festivals and aired at theatres across North America, and received the Silver Plaque Award at the Chicago International Film Festival, the Best Comedy at the Shorts International Film Festival in New York, the Super Ecran prize for best script at Les Rendez-vous du cinema quebecois and was nominated for a Genie Award.
