After being involved in a road accident causing the death of a woman, truck driver Germain’s world collapses as he feels an overwhelming sense of guilt and remorse. His state of mind starts to worry his younger son Samuel, who puts his own janitor job in Montreal on hold to track down his older brother, drifter Alain, in New Brunswick, hoping to head back together to their hometown to give some support to their father.
Montreal filmmaker Rafaël Ouellet (Le Cèdre penché, Derrière moi) returns to the Festival with this affecting, finely crafted drama about a working-class family that reconnects in the wake of a fatal road accident.
