Roch Carrier

Ce court métrage d'animation ressuscite l'époque des années 1940, où tous les jeunes étaient subjugués par leur idole, Maurice Richard. L'écrivain Roch Carrier n'y échappa point et il nous livre ici, avec humour et nostalgie, les impressions et les sentiments d'une enfance empreinte des modèles du temps.

Here is the village of Ste-Justine as one gifted man, novelist and playwright Roch Carrier, remembers it. In this small corner of Québec there is space in the landscape and in the vast spread of forest, but the fringe of rocks around every field speaks of the backbreaking hardship that was the lot of Carrier's father and of his grandfather before him. This is a nostalgic view of rural Québec.
