Funkytown
Animateur de radio
Ambientado en Montreal durante el fenómeno disco hace unos 35 años, Funkytown sigue la vida de un grupo de coloridos personajes. Seguimos sus vidas y tribulaciones mientras todos convergen regularmente en el lugar disco de Montreal: Starlight. En el camino, ocurren varios eventos que cambian la vida de estos personajes. A medida que las vidas de estos personajes se desarrollan, el Parti Québécois toma el poder cambiando el paisaje cultural en Quebec, mientras que la moda disco se desvanece lentamente. Mientras nos mantenemos al día con estos diversos personajes, es Bastien quien es una parte central de esta historia. Su drogadicción, sus sueños de convertirse en actor y su mujeriego lo convierten en el personaje típico de los años 70 "más grande que la vida" alrededor del cual gira toda la historia.
The Necessities of Life
Jeune prêtre
In 1952, an Inuit hunter named Tivii with tuberculosis leaves his northern home and family to go recuperate at a sanatorium in Quebec City. Uprooted, far from his loved ones, unable to speak French and faced with a completely alien world, he becomes despondent. When he refuses to eat and expresses a wish to die, his nurse, Carole, comes to the realization that Tivii's illness is not the most serious threat to his well-being. She arranges to have a young orphan, Kaki, transferred to the institution. The boy is also sick, but has experience with both worlds and speaks both languages. By sharing his culture with Kaki and opening it up to others, Tivii rediscovers his pride and energy. Ultimately he also rediscovers hope through a plan to adopt Kaki, bring him home and make him part of his family
