A short film made in 1987 on the occasion of Serge Lemoyne's exhibition "Station supplémentaire. Hommage aux artistes vivants". The exhibition paid homage to several figures of the contemporary art scene whom the painter named as influences : Jean-Paul Riopelle, Pierre Gauvreau, Ulysse Comtois, Armand Vaillancourt, COZIC, Yves Gaucher, François Sullivan, Guido Molinari, Claude Tousignant and "the unknown artists".

Two social outcasts in 19th century Eastern Europe, Alexandre and Ulysse, become friends and settle down to live alone on the edge of a marsh that is reputedly haunted by demons, monsters and goblins. These two men have been outcasts all their lives. Alexandre was raised in a nomad family that traveled from town to town, being rejected by the people of his homeland. Due to his physical abnormalities, Ulysse has always been pushed aside ever since his childhood. When a strange murder is committed in a nearby village, the peasants turn their suspicions on Alexandre and Ulysse, because they are different. In the eyes of the villagers, they are demons that must be hunted, burned and killed.

Set on an ice-encircled island in the St. Lawrence, this is a drama of passion and violence. An old man, attached to his ancestral home and traditions, is confronted by his son, an immature young man who has no time for these values. The outcome is tragic as the father refuses to let his home fall into the hands of outsiders.

A young boy learns the rituals of what his father and his friends perceive as manhood on a weekend hunting trip.

Summoned by his bosses to broadcast only neutral information, Jean, a reporter, leaves town with his friend to go and collect testimonies from simple people, in the heart of the Laurentians, and reach out to them and outside society at genuine freedom, happiness. The departure is joyous, but the isolation in which they confine themselves does not bring either of them the results they expected. The adventure ends in failure. Would it be an illusion to believe that one can escape the community to which one belongs?
