The second film in a planned trilogy based on the virtues started with The Novena continues with Summit Circle. Arrested after firing a shotgun at an expensive house in Montreal, the events that brought Rejeanne to that point comprise an all-too-familiar contemporary tragedy of economics. Rejeanne opts to rebel, and never bow to our modern gods ? and she maintains her hope to the bitter end. “According to Simone Weil, hope means listening to the silence of God, fixing one’s attention on the world and making it possible to be truly aware of both beauty and horror,” states Emond. “Maybe she has a point, and in the silence of God we find a hint of the Other. Or maybe she is wrong and we are truly, irremediably, fully alone… What I know about the third film in the trilogy is this: charity is all that remains when there is nothing left.”
