Synopsis
A documentary about the 1976 election campaign, which culminated on November 15 in the election of the Parti Québécois. Present at several strategic locations with five film crews, the filmmakers captured footage of the victory of some and the defeat of others.
[C]’est un film irremplaçable qui capte l’essence d’un moment et qui donne l’impression de vivre cette journée traversée par un immense espoir qui a imprégné la majeure partie du Québec à ce moment-là. C’est un film bonifié par le temps. C’est surtout un document irremplaçable sur cette journée.
