Summary:
"The holiday season in a small Quebec village provides the basis for this bittersweet slice-of-life comedy, directed by Claude Jutra. Orphaned 14-year-old Benoit (Jacques Gagnon) comes to live with a foster family in a Canadian mining village in the 1940s - his Aunt Cecile and
Uncle
Antoine
run a general store, and
Antoine
also serves as the local undertaker. Their Christmas celebrations are interrupted by news of the death of a boy at a distant home, which brings
Antoine
and Benoit out in a sleigh with a casket to retrieve the body. But the casket and corpse are lost in an accident caused by
Antoine
's drinking. Screenwriter Clement Perron, who grew up in a French-Canadian village, writes from experience with a poet's delicacy and sensitivity, and director Jutra (who also plays Cecile's lover in the film) has masterfully captured the comical foibles and small and large heartbreaks of his subjects. And Gagnon gives a hauntingly realistic portrayal of an innocent discovering life's funny and tragic turns. -Bruce Eder"--DVDEmpire.com.
