Jacques Jacob

Although he is something of a layabout, and is still living with his mother, her death comes as something of a shock to Louis Pelletier (Gilbert Sicotte). Still, he has hopes of some sort of legacy and believes that his relatives will help him find a job. All his hopes are dashed when, before the funeral, his three aunts come to Quebec City to settle their sister's estate. As grasping and efficient a crew as ever strode a parlor, by the time they leave, the estate has been cleaned to the bones, as if by vultures.

The death of a mother transforms the lives of her family. Her husband treats her son Henri harshly, and her daughter, who is hospitalized, refuses to eat. Henri is tormented and lonely. To prove himself, he decides to participate in the region's annual race. Faced with numerous obstacles, both physical and psychological, Henri will have to show courage to achieve victory.

The story, in three stages, of a friendship between three guys. They have taken different paths, but find themselves equally faced with the failure of their lives. The parody is not exempt from what remains a fine analysis of behavior and environment. For these three Quebecers are, in a way, us, as we have been rendered by a society in search of itself.

A father is racked with guilt because he let his wife die in a boating accident, so that he could save his daughter. The girl is now in a hospital, recovering from the effect of losing her mother.
