The Train (French : Le Train) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Marie Brassard and slated for release in 2025. [1] Brassard's filmmaking debut after a long and distinguished career as a playwright and theatre director, the film centres on Agathe, a girl with asthma growing up in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s with her mother Thérèse, whose life is transformed when she meets Frank, a writer who opens up surprising new possibilities for Agathe's future. [2]

The cast includes Thalie Rhainds as Agathe in childhood, Electra Codina Morelli as Agathe in her teen years, Larissa Corriveau as Thérèse, and Lenni-Kim as Frank, as well as Jacques Nicolini, Christopher Heyerdahl, Luc Proulx, Maxim Gaudette, Philomène Bilodeau and Anna Tamura in supporting roles.
