A tight thriller simultaneously works as a sensitive portrait of rural Quebec, not far from the border with USA. Meet the Arsenaults, a small-time tight-knit poach family who have ruled for generations in the back-country district of Témiscouata, Quebec. Arsenault & Sons is the name of their family auto repair shop that serves as cover for their more illicit activities. The return of Anthony, the youngest of the family, then the arrival of Emilie, a radio host who exerts a strong influence on Anthony and especially his older brother Adam, will come to test the harmony of the clan.

Screening to mark the month of Francophonie.
