In the face of these doubts, Richard eventually shows the kind of aggressive and skillful play that would make him one of the greatest players of all time as "The Rocket." However for all his success, Richard and his fellow French Canadians face constant discrimination in a league dominated by the English speaking. Although a man of few words, Richard begins to speak his own mind about the injustice which creates a organizational conflict that would culminate in his infamous 1955 season suspension that sparks an ethnic riot in protest. In the face of these challenges, Richard must decide who exactly is he playing for.

Martin
To a non-French speaker, the word La Pagaille looks charming, elegant, even tidy. However, it means "a mess," and a mess is just what the happily divorced Martin gets into when he and his ex-wife Brigitte, the mother of his children, rekindle their long-dormant relationship and announce that they intend to move back in together. Not only do the children find this whole thing confusing, but the husband's and the wife's lovers are equally befuddled. Add to that the need for Martin to meet Brigitte's lover and vice-versa, and you have the beginnings of a mess. When it begins to seem to Brigitte's former lover that he has offended the Muslims with a book he translated and he is slated for death, the whole thing grows yet more complicated. In this comedy, this list only scratches the surface of the messes these people must confront.

Steve
The title of this French-Canadian film translates to In the Belly of the Dragon, but don't assume that it's just another kung fu epic. Rather, the film is a likeable mixture of science fiction and humor, centered around the money-making schemes of star David La Haye. Unable to make ends meet with his minimum-wage job, La Haye hires himself out as a guinea pig to genially loopy scientist Marie Tifo. It is the doctor's contention that a person's intelligence can be artificially increased. La Haye proves her right...up to a point, that is. Extremely popular in Canada, Dans le Ventre du Dragon has yet to receive proper distribution in the States.

현대의 평범한 도시 캐나다의 몬트리올을 배경으로 종교적 신념과 확신을 찾으려는 젊은 연극인 다니엘은 몬트리올 교회로부터 연중 행사인 연극연출을 맡아줄 것을 제안 받는다. 예수의 고행을 담은 연극의 대본이 마음에 들지않자 그는 자신이 직접 다시 쓴 대본에 따라 예수역을 연기할 배우를 찾아나선다. 다니엘이 사랑하는 프랑스 여인 밀레유. 그녀는 텔레비전 CF 모델로 뛰어난 몸매를 지니고 있어 캐스팅이 된다. 또한 지난해 교회 연극에 참여한 바 있는 관능적인 여인 콘스탄스, 포르노 영화에 목소리를 더빙하는 성우 마린, 햄릿을 연기하고 싶어하는 풋내기 배우 르네, 이렇게 5명이 뭉쳐 연극 연습에 들어간다. 그러나 예수의 고행을 연기하기엔 캐스팅된 배우들의 행적이 전혀 맞지 않는다고 판단한 교회측은 연극을 막기로 결심한다. 이때부터 예수의 행적에 새로운 해석을 가하며 예수에 심취하는 다니엘에게는 그야말로 그리스도의 고행처럼 타락한 현실과 싸우는 고행이 뒤따른다. 오디션 도중 밀레유에게 옷을 벗으라고 명령한 시험관에게 항의하며 집기를 부수고 유치장 신세를 지는 등 온갖 타락과 유혹에 맞서 싸운다. 이런 우여곡절 끝에 연극은 막을 올리고 처음에는 별반 기대를 하지 않던 교회측도 공연이 계속 될 수록 관객들이 폭발적인 반응을 보이자 놀라운 시선으로 바라보게 된다. '불위를 걷는 예수' '십자가에 못박히는 예수' 등 예수의 고행이 상황마다 바뀌어 나타날 때 격정을 이기지 못하고 주님을 부르며 쫓아 나오는 관객이 있는 등 열렬한 반응을 얻는다. 연극은 대성공이고 시종일관 부정적으로 바라보던 기자들까지도 감동되어 삽시간에 현장은 흥분과 감동의 박수소리로 들뜬다. 그러나 이런 감동도 잠시, 경찰들이 몰려와 극단 배우들과 엎치락 뒤치락 몸싸움을 하게 된다. 이런 와중에 공연장에 설치했던 십자가가 무너져 다니엘을 덮쳐 버린다.
