Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Marie Chapdelaine leaves her rural Quebec village and travels to Montreal to find her estranged lumberjack father who disappeared seven years ago. She meets Armand St-Amour, a former friend of her father and the owner of a country-and-western bar called the Rodeo Club. Armand takes the opportunity to exploit the naive and innocent young girl and tells her that if she works for him as a topless singer he will put her in touch with her father's mistress who will know where he is. She meets Francois Paradis, a journalist, and becomes romantically involved with him. He suggests to her that he has contacts in the logging industry that could have a lead on her father's whereabouts but first he encourages her to quit her job at the bar and come to work for him. She agrees, and Francois gets her a job as a model and forces her to pose nude for a magazine. Disillusioned, Marie loses touch with what she really came to the city to do until a chance encounter may finally lead her to the truth... Written by pr1mal_1 |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The names of the two main characters are a reference to Louis Hémon's novel Maria Chapdelaine. Marie reads excerpts from a copy of the novel in the lumber camp near the end of the movie. Gilles Carle made an adaptation of the novel in 1983 Maria Chapdelaine (1983) with the same actress playing Maria. See more » |
