Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in collaboration with Société Radio-Canada.
A centenarian Acadian agrees to be filmed one Sunday as she goes about her daily routine and ruminates on life. Filmed by her great-gandson, Aldéa Pellerin-Cormier comments wisely on politics, sex and religion. From getting ready in the morning to drinking her nightcap before bed, every moment is punctuated wtih a witticism or existential thought. Respectful of the old woman's privacy, Daniel Léger's first documentary looks at wisdom, serenity and enjoyment of life. In French with English subtitles.
