This short documentary from 1956 catches up with several talented Canadians who have found a home in the entertainment or arts scenes of London and Paris. Among them are Toronto-born Beverley Baxter, a baronet and MP who claims that London has a history of being invaded (first the Romans, now the Canadians), and then-aspiring novelist Mordecai Richler, who feels he has a better chance of making a living in England than he does back home.

Ce documentaire riche en histoire est une mine d'or pour présenter des hommes aujourd'hui reconnus pour leur grand apport à la culture tels Riopelle ou Raymond Lévesque. On y entend ce dernier chanter sa nouveauté « Quand les hommes vivront d'amour ». Tout à fait saisissant! Ce contenu peut être abordé dans un cours de français ou d’histoire du Québec.
