"The viewer is invited to play the role of a decoder in an unedited universe where inquiry is transformed into fantastical suspense, where reality is a relative notion, and where hallucination leads at times towards the truth." - Director Albéric Aurtenèche (Translated from Charles-Henri Raymon’s Films du Québec)
