Marie-Desneige
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.

The Mother (voice)
Forty-something Pierre is serving a fourteen year prison sentence. His mother, who is approaching eighty, visits him every week. Suzanne, Pierre's current wife, has moved on since he was sent away. Each character gives us a frank account of a period in their lives that seems suspended in time by the fragile connection between life on the inside and the world outside. Their destinies are linked by crime, guilt and loneliness, and like casualties of love and desire, they are dying to stick their heads above the water and breathe the air of life.

Jeanne O'Neil
Alex has a deeply troubled mind. He also has a seriously dysfunctional - not to say incestuous - family. Why then, has he returned from his merchant seaman job to the rocky coasts of his home? Perhaps he couldn't cut manage to march in his father's footsteps in that job. His mother doesn't seem to mind, and lets him stay at her bed and breakfast hotel. His sister still seems to have the hots for him, just as she does for his (and her) old boyfriend Jean-Louis, who has just shown up. Even his mother seems to find him sexy. All these people appear eager to get their hands on his body, but he's too wrapped up in what's going on inside his head to notice.

Madame Côté
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.

Giulia
In Caro papá, Dino Risi is telling the story of the decadent lifestyle, and dysfunctional family, of a wealthy businessman (played to perfection by Risi's favorite leading man, Vittorio Gassman). Risi paints his portrait against a backdrop of an Italy where the new permissiveness has run rampant, traditional socio-cultural values have been usurped by consumerism, and the streets have become an open battleground for politically extremist groups (the '70s were dubbed "The Years of Lead" due to the great number of terrorist acts, and politically motivated assassinations).
