| Description: | This film captures the brutal behaviour of the inhabitants of a small town in the Beauce region towards a family of outcasts who they hound relentlessly because, in their eyes, the family represent all that is evil. After all, the mother and daughter are trade workers. And the son, Taureau, an incredibly strong but simple-minded young man, has been flirting with the local schoolteacher. To preserve their honour, they must take action, as quickly as possible. This film shows how the simple and generous folk of Beauce can become tough and uncompromising when they are faced with a situation that rubs them the wrong way. |
