A young French-Canadian, who has romanticized notions of France, based on great works of literature and art decides to visit his fabled ancestral homeland, and discovers the simple reality of the place and its living, breathing, very ordinary human beings. While there, he meets several people, and has an affair with a woman jurist with an unhappy marriage. Considerably enlightened, rather than disillusioned, he returns to his Canadian home. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
