Montréal Blues
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.
In presence of the director
A few young people running a natural food restaurant in Montreal meet a troupe of comedians. Marked by the era of peace and love, this is the story of a Quebec youth who is searching for itself, who dreams of transforming the world but who discovers the fragility of community ideals.
