Le soleil se lève en retard
The Cinémathèque québécoise is pleased to partner with Éléphant : mémoire du cinéma québécois to show each month, on the big screen, a restored work from its film repertoire.
Having separated from her one true love ten years earlier, Gisèle still lives with her parents. Facing the mockery of her colleagues, she ends up consulting a matrimonial agency. This love story oscillates between tenderness, humor and melancholy to the music of Beau Dommage. This adaptation of a novel by Michel Tremblay was filmed in the Rosemont district.
