Interesting low-budget Québécois film about a wealthy but youngish white collar criminal who goes on the run after his crime was discovered. With his story all over the news, he takes off in a car, carrying a huge quanity of cash, escaping into the wintry highways of northern Québéc. He is aiming to meet a guy at a remote airstrip who will help him escape to the Bahamas. The whole thing is shot as a video diary to his young daughters, whom he fears he might never see again. This movie is mostly a one-man show as he addresses the camera, trying to explain his crime to his daughters, telling them stories, and expressing a wish to see them again someday. Once he arrives at the airstrip in the middle of nowhere, things don't go quite as planned and he encounters a few hardships (even contemplating turning himself in). I won't give any spoilers, but I'll say that the ending wasn't what I expected. We're left guessing about what happens to the man after the story ends, but, as we've journeyed with him, we can't help but feel some sympathy for him, however misguided he's been.
