Skip it tonight unless you're specifically craving French-Canadian arthouse romance—this sounds like competent but familiar territory (married people, intellectual attraction, doomed affair) that needs strong execution or a compelling cast to justify sitting through. Without critical validation or a stellar reputation to lean on, there are better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Each married on their side, a teacher and a sociologist meet by chance in Quebec. Political and intellectual discussions followed a brief mad love.

Director: Jacques Gagné

Cast: Michelle Rossignol, Gilles Renaud, Jocelyn Bérubé, Jean Brousseau, Raymond Bouchard
