Two friends, an albino and an ex-bowling champion, live in a car. A tragic and comic story.
André Forcier
André Forcier produced and directed his first short film, Chroniques labradoriennes in 1966. At the beginning of his career, he took on all sorts of jobs to finance his first feature film, Le retour de l’immaculée conception. In 1974, following the success of Bar Salon, Forcier was awarded the Silver Siren by Vittorio De Sica at the Sorrento Festival in Italy. He continued his career by directing several films with enchanting and surreal atmospheres (L’eau chaude, l’eau frette, Au clair de la lune, Kalamazoo, Une histoire inventée, Le vent du Wyoming, La comtesse de Bâton Rouge). After a few minor works, he returned in 2009 with Je me souviens, which many consider to be his best film. He was the first Quebec filmmaker to have a retrospective at the Cinémathèque française in 1987. In 2003, he was awarded the Prix Albert-Tessier and, in 2010, he won the Governor General's Award of Canada, the highest distinction in media arts in the country.
