-A documentary filmed in the fall of 2019, before the health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, with residents and staff of the Émilie-Gamelin long-term care nursing home in Montreal's Centre-Sud district. Luminous and shedding new light on the real value of nursing homes in our increasingly aging society, poetic yet grounded in reality, the work bears witness to several months of observation during which sacrifice, acceptance and self-improvement shine forth.

Chsld Mon Amour

In his first short documentary, made for the series Libres courts, filmmaker Danic Champoux points his camera at his own father. This is one of those men who have to uproot themselves and leave their families to be able to work. How many of them have the terrible feeling that they are wasting their life to earn it? Exemplary suppliers, anonymous workers, nomadic builders, they move from factory to dam, from one site to the next and form a society apart. Every day, these men have to rise to the occasion. Each evening, they have to tame the loneliness a little more.
