Sable Island (French: L'Île de sable) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Johanne Prégent and released in 1999.[1] The film stars Caroline Dhavernas as Manou, a 16-year-old girl from smalltown Quebec who runs off with her boyfriend Jim (Sébastien Huberdeau) to Sable Island, Nova Scotia following the death of her mother; during the trip she regularly calls home to speak to her older sister Geneviève (Anick Lemay), who reveals family secrets that radically reconfigure Manou's understanding of her life.[2]
The film's cast also includes François Papineau as Geneviève's boyfriend, and Marie Tifo as Jim's mother.
Huberdeau received a Jutra Award nomination for Best Actor at the 2nd Jutra Awards in 2000.
