Conrad is a notorious clumsy person who is struggling to keep his jobs. Luckily, blonde Gisèle, who is madly in love with him, manages to find him a job as a nurse at the very place where his father, Dr. Gagnon, works.

This quirky little short by Gilles Carle was filmed on the pierced rock that stands near Quebec’s Gaspé peninsula. It is perhaps the most photographed natural phenomenon on Canada’s East Coast. Shot in the 1960s, the film has a very psychedelic feel to it, with animation, special effects, and a trio of women to guide us through.
