In Pour vivre ici, Monique’s husband has just died. Overcome with grief, she drives from Baie-Comeau to Montreal to visit her daughter and sons. She is hoping for solace, but her children are lukewarm.
Cinema Saturdays is presented as part of the MoWC’s celebration ofFrancophonie, a monthlong celebration of French language and culture in New England. It is made possible with the support of the Québec Delegation in Boston.
Other Cinema Saturdays will include:
March 16, Pieds nus dans l’aube: In February 1927, 12-year-old Félix Leclerc meets Fidor, a young man from a disadvantaged background, while delivering wood with his father. The two boys develop a close friendship, but will have to separate because Felix has to leave to study in Ottawa in a classical college. Although aware of what this opportunity represents, Félix dreads leaving his family and all those familiar things he cares deeply about.
