11-year-old orphan girl Simone is forced to leave her farm home and her animals behind to go live in the city with her only relative – Uncle Philippe. She brings along her best friend, a skunk, named Boots. Philippe is a one-time wonder composer but lacks inspiration for a new opera. The arrival of this niece he never met completely turns his isolated and organized life upside down. Simone makes it her mission to help her uncle reopen his heart and hopefully, by doing so, find a home for herself, Boots and all the abandoned animals she has rescued.

Miss Boots quickly charmed audiences following its 2024 release. The film was showcased at the SCHLiNGEL International Film Festival for Children and Young Audience, where it won the Children’s Jury Prize as well as a Best Child Performance award for its breakout star Marguerite Laurence. Also nominated in several major categories at the Gala du cinéma québécois (Prix Iris), Miss Boots was praised for its heartfelt storytelling, humor, and cross-generational appeal.
