His father's untimely death sends young Wahab into an intense turmoil. Shaken by family feuds and what he discovers, he decides to bury his father in his native Lebanon. But the idea will prove no less trying in a country scarred by war where a new corpse is one too many.

Within the confines of a housing project in one of Montreal’s most disadvantaged neighbourhoods, Monique, Ginette, Yimga, Élisabeth, José, René (and many others) are waging a battle in which every gesture counts. Together, through daily efforts, residents and social workers pit social vitality and citizen engagement against the dangers of a fragile, hand-to-mouth existence. Structured like a fresco inside the housing project, far from the clichés and preconceptions about so-called tough neighbourhoods, The Undaunted is a journey into the heart of a unique community.
