195530 min 8 secFilm: Fiction
Direction: Bernard DevlinJean Palardy
Production: Guy Glover
Script: Roger Lemelin
Staged in old Québec City, this film is about a rebel against the time-clock, whose hobby was snaring birds but whose dream was to escape the bonds of domesticity. A kindly satire of the dreamer in every man, the film is also a memorable portrait of Québec, the "Grande Dame" of Canadian cities. With English subtitles.
