Mistake to take this film as a realistic work, even if the filmmaker blurs the codes with seemingly naturalistic. Kind of modern fairy tale with a moral at the end as called for by the kind donation, even more than the previous two parts of this trilogy on the free realms coins, offers a lag wanted , assumed. In a film stress that the voice of Emond finds its blueprint.
Place the story of an old physician (Jacques Godin) of Normétal, Abitibi, which is to succeed him a woman from the city life crisis, Jeanne (Elise Guilbault), whose despair was crossing the Novena. Those who have seen this Novena will include only the reason for the exile of heroin.
The film, as likes to say Emond, falls against the tide of the times. The axis of the motivations of the characters against hedonism, modern sense of duty and taking responsibility, assumed by some (two doctors, the baker, religious, etc..) Declined by d other (the husband who abandons his wife and children, the wealthy industrialist, drug dealers, etc..). But even the shape and aesthetics of film, the faces and landscapes Abitibi austere and hieratic Bressonian in directing actors, do not try to copy reality. Such a reserve game Elise Guilbault and Jacques Godin, especially, is not credible in the strict sense, and even offered false accents. Accidents, tragedies which assists Jeanne, always there at the right time, are too numerous, occurring in a timely placed as stations of the cross on the course of the physician may be able to assume the responsibilities of its trajectory. Away from the probable, Emond up a mirror to the viewer’s consciousness, which can repel or light, hoping to see him take the second path.
