  • The holiday season in a small Quebec village provides the basis for this bittersweet slice-of-life comedy, written and directed by Claude Jutra. Orphaned 14-year-old Benoit (Jacques Gagnon) comes to live with a foster family in a Canadian mining village in the 1940's and becomes a part of the comical foibles and the heartbreaks of a French-Canadian small town. Gagnon gives a hauntingly realistic portrayal of an innocent discovering life's funny and tragic turns. Grand Prize Winner of the Chicago Film Festival.
