I enjoyed this touching story.
The tribulations of an adolescent in the Duplessis' Quebec mining region in the end of the fourties. A very good description of the working conditions in tee asbestos mine: Jos Poulin abandons the mine and goes working in logging camp. Then come the description of the great store of uncle Antoine and aunt Cécile, Fernand the helper, Carmen (whose wage goes to her abusive father) and Benoît: the daily life in the store and the preparation of the Christmas season: the ceremonial opening of the great store.
I enjoyed the portraits of the different characters, the dialogues were quite sober and the photography was brilliant.
I enjoyed the performances of Jacques Gagnon, Lyne Champagne, Jean Duceppe , Olivette Thibault , Claude Jutra Lionel Villeneuve and Hélène Loiselle.
