Badaud
В маленькой деревушке в Квебеке происходит трагедия: в автокатастрофе погибает молодой человек и жизнь в деревне замирает. Никому не хочется обсуждать происшедшее - кажется, время потеряло всякий смысл. Нескончаемо тянутся морозные снежные зимние дни. Из тумана появляются таинственные существа и совершают странные поступки. Но порой странное оказывается более обычным, чем можно было бы предположить.
Mme Langlois
Sigismond Langlois is submitted to a psychiatric evaluation on account of his violent behavior. He just turned 18, and pretends he was born with no image. Throughout the questionnaire, he recounts the peculiar existence of a young man who never saw himself, neither in reflection nor on photo, to the point of sometimes doubting of his own existence. But today, Sigismond is determined to make himself heard.
Assistante du Premier ministre
Living somewhere in present-day Quebec, Boris Malinowski has achieved all his goals. A freethinker, open-minded and proud, he also displays a certain arrogance when it comes to his successes. For some time now, his wife Béatrice, a Canadian government minister, has been bedridden, suffering from a mysterious depression. To escape from his wife’s agony, Boris begins a relationship with a colleague, Helga, and gets close to Klara, a young woman who works as a maid in Boris’s home. The sudden appearance of a stranger in his life forces Boris to come face-to-face with the world, with everything he takes for granted, with all his certainties.
