This documentary film is an exploration of Québec’s feature film industry. The film takes a look at the people who have succeeded in this unique milieu (Geneviève Bujold is one) or failed; at its movies, which run the gamut from hard-core skinflicks to such highly acclaimed films as Mon Oncle Antoine, and at its audiences, which number in the millions. -
Here is the village of Ste-Justine as one gifted man, novelist and playwright Roch Carrier, remembers it.

This is a nostalgic view of rural Québec. -
