A father, mother and teenage son are a hard-working family trying to make a go of their dairy. An accident has a devastating effect on all.
We see:
- Pascale Bussières ("Suzie") is the wife/mother. The first time she thrust her hand into that cow's back end to retrieve a dead calf, I began wondering if this was the career path she envisioned when she started out to be an actress. Her character works non-stop with the milking, gardening, cooking, cleaning, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and she's pregnant.
- Gabriel Maillè ("Yamasaka") is the son. He works hard, is a bit confused sexually and has started to clash with his parents (he's a teen). He often finds shelter with his grandmother and her girl- friend.
- Luc Picard ("A Sunday in Kigali") is the husband/father. He weeps when that calf is stillborn and is at his wit's end about money to keep the dairy afloat.
- François Papineau ("Route 132") is the strapping big fellow who had been passing by and rushes in to help when the accident occurrs. Then he sorta stays....
Just remember this film is life with no frills, so situations and solutions aren't often pretty. Expect nudity and non-consensual sex, with English captions.
