Plume Latraverse

In October 1970, members of the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped and murdered Minister Pierre Laporte, part of an unprecedented crisis in Quebec. Fifty years later, Félix Rose tries to understand what could have led his father and uncle to commit such crimes. Thanks to his uncle Jacques, who agrees for the first time to speak on the subject, and to the traces left by his father Paul, he revives the heritage of a Quebec working class family. The fruit of ten years of research, Les Rose allows us to revisit a time and people that we knew through clichés, and gives a glimpse of the experiences of a rebellious youth and the crimes that followed.

Documentary produced by the National Film Board of Canada centered on a friendly countryside gathering of four former prominent members of Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ), namely Francis Simard, Pierre Vallières, Charles Gagnon and Robert Comeau.

Combining documentary footage and performance clips, the film traces the origins of Plume Latraverse's career and reveals, through his musicians, some of his hidden aspects. Filmed during the musician's show presented as part of Québec mer et monde 84. "With a look, a glance, a roar, Plume gives himself to the camera. Whole as Haddock, our Captain Harrock'n'Roll finally opens up." (Franco, Nuovo, 1985)

A lonely woman spends the winter isolated and reminiscing about the past as she waits for her husband to return from a prolonged absence.

A road movie whose journey intersects with and extends the events of the International Counter-Culture Meeting that took place in 1975 in Montreal. This meeting, at the heart of the film, features several important figures of the counterculture in Quebec. Throughout the film, these individuals, often through their creative endeavors, question the evolution of their society and counterculture itself.
