Tom at the Farm
L'œuvre du dramaturge Michel Marc Bouchard a depuis les années 1980 inspiré de nombreux films, des Feluettes (Greyson) à Tom à la Ferme (Dolan). Ce cycle permettra de constater non seulement que de nombreux projets de cinéma se sont nourris de son théâtre, mais encore combien l'imaginaire de ce dramaturge porte les marques de sa cinéphilie. Une carte blanche vient compléter ce cycle.
A young advertising executive travels to a rural funeral and finds that no one knows his name or the nature of his relationship with the deceased. When his older brother forces him into an unhealthy role-playing game to protect his mother and their family honor, a toxic relationship soon begins that will only end when the truth finally comes out, no matter the consequences.
