Canadian drama Invisibles reaches K-Time carrying catalogue genre tags that stretch across biography, drama, historical and war, though the film itself is a present-day Montreal story, directed by Junna Chif and led by a Montreal-rooted ensemble.
What is Invisibles about?
Invisibles is a 2026 Canadian production, and despite the broad genre spread in its catalogue listing, it is a contemporary drama built around people whose lives are pushed to the margins. Nadia Essadiqi plays Elizabeth, a burlesque performer and sex worker in Montreal who is passionate about her jobs but, after years of keeping her life as an escort a secret, wonders whether she can continue living this way; as she prepares to move on, she accepts one last client, a man with a disability (Floyd Lapierre-Poupart), and their unexpected encounter overturns her certainties and leads her on an intimate, transformative journey. The cast also includes Stéphane Crête, Catherine Bérubé, Victor Andres Trelles Turgeon, Patrick Desjardins, Tatiana Zinga Botao and Juliette Pottier Plaziat, and this page keeps to the facts the credits and the film's own synopsis support rather than reading more into the genre tags.
About the cast
Invisibles carries a full Quebec ensemble: Nadia Essadiqi, Floyd Lapierre-Poupart, Stéphane Crête, Catherine Bérubé, Victor Andres Trelles Turgeon, Patrick Desjardins, Tatiana Zinga Botao and Juliette Pottier Plaziat all feature. With eight named performers spread across a ninety-five-minute runtime, this is an ensemble piece rather than a two-hander: Essadiqi carries the film as Elizabeth, Lapierre-Poupart plays Floyd, the client whose request changes her course, Bérubé appears as Caroline and Crête as François, while the remaining actors fill out the world around them.
Context & significance
The film's catalogue labels point toward biography and war-era historical drama, but Invisibles is a present-day story about sex work and disability, a pairing Quebec cinema has rarely treated this directly when dealing with hidden or overlooked lives. Junna Chif directs, the film had its world premiere at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in November 2025 and took the Best Quebec Film and Best Quebec Direction prizes at Montreal's Cinemania festival, and the ninety-five-minute length keeps it in feature territory without stretching toward an epic runtime. Viewers drawn to Canadian character-driven drama with an ensemble cast will find the shape of the film familiar even before the specific plot details come into focus.
