A French-language Canadian drama about a family mediator whose own life implodes has won an International Emmy.
“La Médiatrice” (“The Mediator”) took home the award for best short-form series Monday night.
Created by Marie-Hélène Lebeau-Taschereau and Marie-Élène Grégoire, the drama stars Mylène Mackay as a Quebec-based mediator who specializes in conscious uncoupling.
After her own husband cheats on her, she decides to avenge clients who have been wronged by targeting their partners.
While accepting the award, Lebeau-Taschereau said she felt gratitude, and noted “La Médiatrice” is a story about women’s empowerment and embracing all emotions — even anger.
The series was up against another Canadian series, Crave’s “My Dead Mom,” as well as Hong Kong’s “Beyond Dancing” and Argentina’s “Todo se Transforma.”
“La Médiatrice” was produced by Montreal company KOTV and streams on CBC’s ICI TOU.TV platform.
