Bedeau
A young woman, living with her parents and siblings on a remote farm in harsh, picturesque northern Québec, has three suitors: a steady and unimaginative farmer, Eutrope, the Americanized and wealthy Lorenzo, who has sought his fortune in Boston, and François Paradis, a rough and virile logger who captures her heart despite the warnings of her parents and the village priest. For a year, marked by seasonal change in an atmosphere charged with the strangeness of Indians and the demons of the woods, we see Maria at work and prayer, struggling with decisions, choosing to stay in Canada, in love with François, seeking to change his rough behaviors, and dealing with extraordinary loss.
In this Canadian made oddball mix of music and drama, an actress (Carole Laure) in a traveling musical revue is involved with the show's director until she meets and falls for an aging ecological activist. He too is drawn to her, and together they try to stop a factory from being built over an old-growth forest.

In a little village at the end of the 1890's, a young woman offends all the 'right-thinking' villagers by allowing men in her house in the absence of her husband. When he is found dead, all of the suspicion is directed towards the liberal woman. She is judged more for her morality then for the crime she is accused of. Her culpability is still a subject of debate today.
In 1942 even after a formal promise from the Liberal Party of Canada in the last election: "Never the Conscription", the Canadian Government vote a Conscription Law. In Quebec where the French population was mostly unanimous against the obligation to go to war, seen as a Great-Britain Government request, many young men fled to the woods or in clandestineness.

Bernadette tiene un yen para tirarlo todo y volver a la naturaleza en esta película canadiense en francés. Eso es justo lo que hace después de dejar cuidadosamente su anillo de bodas donde su rico esposo, un abogado, puede verlo. Ella ha comprado una granja, completa con una granja destartalada y un anciano malhumorado. Pronto, debido a los maravillosos efectos que tienen su simpatía y la perspectiva de su forastero, sus vecinos perciben grandes mejoras en sus vidas. Atribuyen estos cambios a algo milagroso (tal vez siguiendo el ejemplo de su nombre), y hordas de personas necesitadas descienden a su granja.
