The Voice (Italian: La Voce) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by David Uloth and released in 2015.[1] Inspired by the opera Lucia di Lammermoor and conceived as a film whose story would be carried by sound design rather than dialogue, the film stars Miro Lacasse as Edgar, an opera-loving employee at a pig slaughterhouse; one day, his plan to ask his girlfriend to marry him is derailed by the discovery that she is having an affair with his boss, leaving him in such a state of shock that he loses his voice and can communicate only by grunting and squealing like a pig.[1]
The cast also includes Catherine Ruel, Julie De Lafrenière, Harry Standjofski and Marc Labrèche.
The film won the awards for Best Canadian Short Film at the 2016 Saguenay International Short Film Festival[2] and the 2016 Quebec City Film Festival,[3] and was a Prix Iris nominee for Best Live Action Short Film at the 19th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2017.[4]
