Um fotógrafo parte em direção a uma floresta misteriosa para encontrar Boychuk, testemunha e vítima do Grande Incêndio que varreu o norte de Ontário na virada do século 20. Mas antes que ela chegue, ela descobre que Boychuck acabou de morrer. Sobreviventes do antigo incêndio, Tom e Charlie, dois homens idosos que escolheram viver seus últimos dias na floresta, são apresentados a Marie Desneige, cuja institucionalização de 60 anos apenas alimentou sua paixão pela vida. Enquanto isso, o fotógrafo descobre que Boychuck foi um pintor, cuja obra foi inteiramente inspirada no Grande Incêndio. A história nos imerge em um drama histórico enquanto nos cativa com a vida estranha desses homens da floresta. Três homens que, escolhendo a liberdade acima de tudo, fizeram um acordo com a morte.

Hôtel La Louisiane is, at its core, a film about freedom and dignity. Freedom for those who wish to live in a place where they are able to feel inspired. Dignity for the hotel owner to stand by his promise to his father and keep their mission alive: to provide an affordable sanctuary for artists and students in search of fulfilling employment, which they certainly won’t find at other hotels. Freedom, too, to be in an environment of tolerance and rid of prejudice. This film is not just a story about a mythical setting in Paris; it portrays the microcosm of a lifestyle in which collective values reign supreme. A film where what’s real and true is placed above national borders or cultural barriers.
