Synopse

Social worker Anick Tremblay makes a film for training purposes about an ex-con Scott, intended to show how the man in his early 50s deals with his newly found freedom. Scott and his wife Jessie have moved into a little house in Northern Quebec, where they have created a modest yet bizarre white trash dream of 3D puzzles and dolphin figurines. Tremblay moves in with the couple and films and interviews them. It soon becomes clear that Scott isn't really into the idea of having a film made about him. The personal questions get on his nerves, as well as the presence of an outsider in his home. Jessie reacts very differently. She enjoys the attention and for the first time in her life feels noticed as a human being. The two women develop a close relationship, for Scott too close. Full of bizarre comic moments, the film documents a social project threatening to get out of control.
