On New Year’s Day, as a storm rages in
Montréal, an eclectically diverse group of friends
and family gather in a funeral home to pay their
respects to Jos, the family patriarch, dead in his
70s. Over the course of the day, as reminiscences
from the funny to the tragic to the
absurd are shared by the mourners, Jeanne
learns surprising secrets about her parents’ past.
A quirky and charming French Canadian dark
comedy by Côté in her third visit to the Stony
Brook Film Festival. Produced by Maxime
Rémillard and André Rouleau. Director of
Photography: Pierre Mignot. Courtesy of Seville
Pictures.
All are invited to stay after the screening for a
reception in the lobby and on the Staller Center
Terrace.
