Cедовласый Реджи Данлоп, — тренер и капитан второразрядной хоккейной команды. Времена побед остались позади, поражение следует за поражением, и команда Реджи гордо занимает последнее место в самой низшей лиге. Чтобы реанимировать интерес болельщиков, в команду берут братьев Хэнсон: трёх заторможенных отморозков, предпочитающих играть в «жёсткий» хоккей. «Жесткий» хоккей братьев Хэнсон подразумевает безжалостную физическую расправу над соперником. «Боевой задор» братьев-варваров с удовольствием подхватывает хитрый ветеран Реджи, постепенно превращающий свою горе-команду в банду свирепых драчунов и неуправляемых хулиганов!

A writer, Kamouraska is based on a real nineteenth-century love-triangle in rural Québec. It paints a poetic and terrifying tableau of the life of Elisabeth d'Aulnières: her marriage to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his violent murder; and her passion for George Nelson, an American doctor. Passionate and evocative, Kamouraska is the timeless story of one woman's destructive commitment to an ideal love.

Bernadette has a yen to chuck it all and go back to nature, in this French-language Canadian film. That's just what she does after carefully leaving her wedding ring where her affluent husband, a lawyer, can see it. She has bought a farm, complete with a run-down farmhouse and a live-in cranky old man. Soon, because of the wonderful effects that her sympathy and her outsider's perspective have, her neighbors perceive great improvements in their lives. They attribute these changes to something miraculous (perhaps taking a cue from her name), and hordes of needy people descend on her farm.
