Film: Fiction
Direction: Jacques Godbout
Production: Marc BeaudetJacques Bobet
Script: Marcel Sabourin
The story of Johnny, a man who has never outgrown his fanciful love of dressing up in elaborate disguises and pretending he is someone he isn't. Disgusted with his constant confusion between fantasy and reality, his wife decides to leave him. Johnny, still dressed in his latest goalie outfit, spends the day in a wild search through Montréal to find her. But by the end of the day little has changed: Johnny merely exchanges one costume for another. (Film in French, useful for teaching French as a Second Language.)
