Genesis (French: Genèse) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Philippe Lesage and released in 2018. The film stars Théodore Pellerin and Noée Abita as Guillaume Bonnet and Charlotte, teenage half-siblings simultaneously struggling with romance; Charlotte is in a relationship with Maxime (Pier-Luc Funk), but is reeling from his proposal that they change to an open relationship, while Guillaume is a student at an all-boys boarding school who is developing a romantic and sexual attraction to his classmate Nicolas (Jules Roy Sicotte). The cast also includes Paul Ahmarani, Rose-Marie Perreault, Jean-Simon Leduc, Amaryllis Tremblay and Mylène Mackay.
