In a small Quebec village in the 1940s the store is the nerve centre of the community. Here Benoit, the young nephew of Monsieur Antoine , storekeeper and undertaker, is often called upon to lend a hand. The events one Christmas Eve launch Benoit on the difficult journey from adolescence to manhood.
This award-winning film, produced by the National
Film Board, has been called 'the best Canadian movie ever made'. It is a sensitive study of a boy's growing understanding of the shortcomings of the adult world he is about to enter.
