Claude Jutra's sweeping portrait of village life in 1940s Quebec has been called one of the greatest Canadian films of all time. Recalling a time when the local general store was the crossroads of life, the film illustrates the way a young boy sees the world and those closest to him – first through the eyes of a teenager, and later, as events change him, through the eyes of an adult. In French with English subtitles.
This work contains scenes of nudity and/or sexuality. Viewer discretion is advised.

Discuss the difference between the lives of the young people in the film and the lives of young people today. Why do you think Carmen and Benoit stay with the Antoines? Why do you think people were unreceptive to the "big boss" giving Christmas stockings? What are some of the limitations identified in the film of living in such isolation?
