A small village in the Acadian region of Nova Scotia. A couple living out of wedlock and a broad-minded priest scandalize the village gossips. They suspect that a treacherous act is about to be committed. Suspense builds, stoked by the clacking tongues of a trio of suspicious housewives. A fictional film that describes Acadia from a new and humorous angle. In French with English subtitles.
