Opening Up (French: M'ouvrir) is a Canadian short drama film, directed by Albéric Aurtenèche and released in 2010.[1] The film stars Ariane Trépanier as Gabrielle, a teenage girl who is prone to self-cutting her skin, and who feels understood for the first time when she is taken to the hospital and meets Étienne (Pierre-Luc Lafontaine), a boy her own age who is also there for an injury that may have been less accidental than it seems.

The cast also includes Denis Bernard, Catherine Cadotte, Daniel Gadouas, Mireille Metellus, Nicole Boissé, Sylvain Corbeil, Yan Courtemanche, Éléonore Lamothe and Renaud Lebel.
