Also known as:BRIC-À-BRAC (working title)

Description:Directed by Serge Giguère, a renowned Quebec filmmaker, À FORCE DE RÉVES is about five people between 72 and 94 years of age. Their names are Reine Décarie, Gerard Allaire, Marc-Andre Peloquin, Ray Monde and Jean Lacasse. They make music, paint or build model airplanes, work the land or are passionate about antiques. Giguère watches them with freedom, building with his camera a living mosaic around the subjects. Even though the subject of death surrounds them, À FORCE DE RÉVES illustrates the warmth and joy of life that emanates from them.
