Description:
Thetford Mines, a flagship town in the Quebec asbestos industry, summer 1986. Steve Dubois, nine, and little Poulin, ten, give themselves over to the pleasures of friendship. The summer season is punctuated by adventures on the high slag heaps and escapes through the half-forest, half-lunar landscapes. The days of the two inseparable friends pass in idleness and innocence, on their bikes or lying in their cabin among the pines. However, the year 1986 is rich in tragedies, and one of them affects the course of Steve's life like no other. Five years later, we find him prey to his obsession: to reconstruct his vanished paradise. Wielding a precise and sensual language, Sébastien Dulude tells the story of a fragile and inflammable youth in a working-class American Dream losing momentum. »
