“Life passes through films.” In this deeply intimate documentary, Quebec filmmaker André-Line Beauparlant turns the camera on her own life to better understand the work and the existence of her partner, filmmaker Robert Morin. As the image — composed of film excerpts, behind-the-scenes footage, conversations, and personal archives — reveals both the inner workings and the hidden underside of their collaboration in cinema and in life, the narration unfolds as a dual biography, reflecting on love, obsession, the passage of time, and death. Guided by a profound desire to truly encounter the other, Mon amour, c’est pour le restant de mes jours is a love letter, a diary of everyday life, and a resolutely feminist proposition: one that envisions creation as a plural, shared act.

00:30It's a guy who's expressing
00:31with his collar.
00:32With the camera, he's still trying to pass
00:34what he feels like.
00:36Police! Police!
00:39I want you to talk about your cinema,
00:42because I admit
00:42there's still a part of you
00:44that's what I'm talking about.

01:12I thought we were going to talk about
01:13ourselves,
01:14and the subjects we rarely talk about
01:15in life.
01:16Suddenly, with a camera,
01:18we'd talk about it.
01:19I'm not sure if Spielberg
01:21had this project in the head,
01:22if it would happen like that.

01:27with those who we love.
