De l'aube à la nuit, quelques heures dans l'existence de Monsieur Oscar, un être qui voyage de vie en vie. Tour à tour grand patron, meurtrier, mendiante, créature monstrueuse, père de famille... M. Oscar semble jouer des rôles, plongeant en chacun tout entier - mais où sont les caméras ? Il est seul, uniquement accompagné de Céline, longue dame blonde aux commandes de l'immense machine qui le transporte dans Paris et autour. Tel un tueur consciencieux allant de gage en gage. À la poursuite de la beauté du geste. Du moteur de l'action. Des femmes et des fantômes de sa vie. Mais où est sa maison, sa famille, son repos ?

A Windigo Tale

Jan 01, 2010
Two stories woven together, one profoundly affecting the other. A Native Canadian grandfather drives north accompanied by his grandson, a youth-at-risk, who comes to learn about the dark secrets of his family and community: in an isolated village an estranged mother and daughter must reunite to exorcise the voracious Windigo spirit tied to a painful past. Taking its inspiration from Ojibway spirituality and from the history of the residential school system, where generations of children were forcibly taken from their families and aggressively assimilated into Euro-Canadian society.
