- How does an ordinary man, Éverard Leblanc, make his way through the 20th century? It is the story of his life in parallel of events that forged Quebec's identity. A life of symbols, faith and labor...
- An ironical look at the little tourist town of Percé and its natural rock formation. Three young women go through the place making fun of the summer people but also giving statistics and information on the history of Percé since the arrival of the Vikings as well as on the surrounding nature.
- In the heart of a forest runs a river, its flow strong and clear, over a bed of rocks shaped by nature with infinite patience. Between two dips or next to the fire, children, families, teenagers, friends and couples here talk about the meaning of existence, love, their dreams, their regrets or their fears. They offer their thoughts about death and our place in History. Borrowing as much from pictorial romanticism, symbolism and the sublime as from the philosophical dialogues of Plato and the poetic strolls of Robert Walser, capturing thought in action with rare sensitivity, Jean-François Lesage (Conte du Mile End, Visions du Réel 2014) uses pure and rigorous editing to build a collective reflection, deeply human and universal. An abridgement of lives that can be seen in a perfect unity of time and place. The splendour of nature that serves as the film's setting is then no longer only a background for the thoughts that are expressed, but their very motor. It serves as a reminder of the beautiful and the true, whose quest occupies the filmmaker as much as the protagonists', in a gesture of philosophical simplicity.
