Synopsis

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.
