Vic is on parole and in love with Flo, a younger ex-con who comes to stay with her in the boondocks of Quebec. Under siege from Vic's nosy parole officer and a mysterious woman, the buccolic tapestry slowly unravels before being violently torn to shreds.

Pieuvre.ca : "This intimate thriller, original and sylvan, leaves a strong impression and contains sublime parts of shadow and light to discover."— Nathalie Lessard, 2017‑11‑27.
