Set in Montreal, Ottawa and Nunavik (Northern Quebec), Looking for Her explores the intersecting lives of women in search of themselves. Cate, 43, is a university professor in an unfulfilling marriage. When Nuna, the young Inuk woman she mentors, disappears, Cate and her friend, Isabel, 28, set out on a journey to find her. On the road, their friendship is tested, Nuna remains elusive, and Cate must contend with her ever-demanding husband who wants her to come home. As lead after lead falls through and the search reaches a critical impasse, Cate makes an important decision to stop living for others and finally live life on her own terms. Without knowing it, Cate has made the same decision that Nuna had when she left Montreal.
