Movie Info
A starving community faces a grim future while struggling to discern whether it will be community gardening or the coming railroad that will deliver them from famine in this rural drama from director Luc Picard (L'Audition, Babine). It's springtime in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, and there isn't enough food for all of the villages to survive. Convinced that the soil is all they need to become self-sufficient, Ésimésac convinces his neighbors to plan a garden, and plant the seeds of their future.

NB What Edgar Chaput does not seem to understand, in his insistence that myth somehow match reality more closely is that: this is a myth, with outrageous elements bent by time and retelling. I think those elements are delightful and speak to the grandiose imaginations of the writer and presumably the originators of the myth who are personified by the garage owner character who announces the checker match in the style of a title fight with such flamboyance.
