Little Tougas
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.
Presented by Micheline Lanctôt
Winner of the 1976 Prix L.-E.-Ouimet-Molson for Quebec's best film of the year
Rémi "Ti-cul" Tougas takes refuge in the Magdalen Islands after embezzling a few dollars. He travels the roads to spend his idle days, and manages to convince his friends Martin, Odette and Gilberte to follow him in his wildest dream: the Islands are only a stopover, the ultimate destination is California.
