Miraculum
Written by Gabriel Sabourin
Directed by Daniel Grou
Canada, 2014
Daniel Grou (affectionately known as Podz by the Quebec public) got his start in television, directing a number of very successful shows for Radio-Canada, the national channel. In 2010 he made his cinematic debut with two films and has since been working exclusively for the big screen.

While no trailer of the third season of La galère has been released online, Radio-Canada, a French Canadian TV network, did release the promo poster for the show. Moreover, the third season of this comedy series created by Renée-Claude Brazeau will premiere on September 20 at 9 Pm.
In La galère, we follow four women - Stéphanie (Hélène Florent), Mimi (Brigitte Lafleur), Claude (Anne Casabonne) and Isabelle (Geneviève Rochette) - who move into a big house with their seven children. Each of these women want to take a break from their respective husband or boyfriend (or three ex-husbands in the case of Stephanie).
While Radio-Canada hasn't revealed any details about the third season's script, here's what we should remember from the second season:
* Isabelle divorced from her husband, Jacques (Jeff Boudreault). Since Jacques is Quebec's Labour minister, Isabelle intends to compete as an independent candidate against Jacques in the same riding during the upcoming provincial election.
