Le jeune garçon - cachette
12-years-old Manon promises her younger brother, Mimi, that they will stay together, despite their difficult family circumstances and the ominous signs of being put into foster care. During the height of Quebec's FLQ Crisis in 1970, they stage their own rebellion by kidnapping an elderly woman and hiding her in the country, aided by their two cousins.
A blind woman and her eight-year-old grandson walk over a carpet of dead leaves in a park. She recounts him the terrible story of the morning she woke up completely blind, years before he was born. The boy is frightened and sadden by the realization that his grandmother has never seen his face. She can nevertheless see him with her heart.
