A very personal journey through a very specific time and place

This documentary features Canadian author Roch Carrier guiding the audience through his hometown, Sainte-Justine, Quebec. This was the setting of Carrier's most famous work, The Hockey Sweater, an iconic piece of Canadian literature. For a non-Canadian audience, this film likely holds limited interest. It's a fairly conventional documentary, offering a very specific 'slice-of-life'. Nothing about the town is hugely unique or fascinating, but it works as a document of a time and place that has no doubt changed dramatically in the ensuing years.
