In October 1970, members of the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) kidnapped and murdered Minister Pierre Laporte, part of an unprecedented crisis in Quebec. Fifty years later, Félix Rose tries to understand what could have led his father and uncle to commit such crimes. Thanks to his uncle Jacques, who agrees for the first time to speak on the subject, and to the traces left by his father Paul, he revives the heritage of a Quebec working class family. The fruit of ten years of research, Les Rose allows us to revisit a time and people that we knew through clichés, and gives a glimpse of the experiences of a rebellious youth and the crimes that followed.

The Rose Family

A veritable aesthetic fresco blending portrait, political documentary and experimental cinema, Miron: a man returned from outside of the world recounts the people of Quebec's collective journey trough the work of their greatest poet, Gaston Miron. Consisting exclusively of archive material and found footage, this cinematographic essay takes on the form of fragmented memories and stands as a contemplation on the survival of threatened cultures around the world.
