The grandfather of the clan (Paolo Noël) was once a fisherman who togot rid of bodies for the mob. His son (Lepage) runs the local gas station and has two children: Hélène (Céline Bonnier) and Henri. Hélène is childless and so her mother (Louise Laparé) is carrying her baby. Meanwhile, her husband (Roy Dupuis), an unscrupulous entrepreneur, wants to buy up the land to build an upscale condo.
The film won Best Canadian Film at the Montreal World Film Festival.[2]
