Forgotten Flowers (

agronomist who has lived in seclusion making mead since becoming disillusioned with his former career, but whose life is turned upside down when the late Brother Marie-Victorin Kirouac (Yves Jacques) returns to earth to enlist his help in an environmental campaign to take down his former employer Transgenia over its line of toxic pesticides.[2]

The film also stars Juliette Gosselin as Lili de Rosbil and Christine Beaulieu as Mathilde Gauvreau, a journalist and lawyer who also become involved in the campaign, and Mylène Mackay as Mathilde's ancestor Marcelle Gauvreau, a fellow botanist with whom Marie-Victorin had an emotional, but not physical, romantic relationship with prior to his death.[3] Other cast members include Émile Schneider, Donald Pilon, Dorothée Berryman and France Castel.

The film had its theatrical premiere on September 16, 2019 at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival,[4] before premiering commercially on October 25.[5]

Mackay again played Marcelle in Lyne Charlebois's 2023 film Tell Me Why These Things Are So Beautiful (Dis-moi pourquoi ces choses sont si belles), a more conventional historical drama centred specifically on her relationship with Kirouac.[6]
