Sophie Wollock founded a newspaper for the western suburbs of Montreal in l963. The Suburban, a weekly distributed free to some 45 000 homes, most of them anglophone, became famous for the strongly worded editorials written by Wollock, mainly on the subject of Québec nationalism. The film looks at the paper, now under the guidance of her son, and sums up some of Wollock's more impassioned editorials.
