By MARTIN FOURNIER and PIER-LUC LATULIPPE
2015 / Colour/ Canada
- Quebec
The film was given the MAGNUS ISACSSON AWARD's Special Mention at RIDM's Awards Ceremony.
This films throws a light on some social issues mentally ill and disadvantaged people have to face in our modern society in Quebec. It posses the questions whether they receive an appropriate care and are provided with pleasant and stimulating, professionally ran environments, in order for them to feel as worthy and even active members of the community, as they can still play a valuable role despite there health and emotional difficulties. Just participating in this films proves that point. By telling us about themselves helps us to connect to our own humanity, and also to our caring for others.
In this film you meet some interesting, unusual people. You see how they care about each other, how they help each other in a rather difficult situation of being dislodged from what was their home for a long time. Moving is a very stressful event for anybody. But if you are ill and are not sure where you are going to go, where you will move, that must be even so much more stressful.
Watch the film and see how you feel about the people, your reactions to their situation. Look closer at those feelings as what they might tell you about yourself.

Film's Official Synopsis
“Whether mentally ill or caught in the grip of addiction, Michel, Paul, Johnny, Philippe, Nathalie and Gilles get by without any real care in Manoir Gaulin, a manor in name only. Looking like an abandoned motel, the private facility near downtown Saint-Hyacinthe, is a place steeped in misery. When a businessman announced plans to buy it, Martin Fournier (a member of the Amerika Orkestra collective, which made the stunning Daytona) and Pier-Luc Latulippe went inside to chronicle the difficult transition, resulting in a luminous, brilliantly directed film of great beauty and sadness, attentive to and respectful of its subjects’ distress.”
