From Office to Box-Office
Four couples. They form a circle, are of different nationalities and live in the big metropolises of the world. They are beautiful--a famous painter, a fashion model, a song star. When their profession forces them to move to a city where one of the couples of the circle lives, they share not only their apartment, but also one or the other spouse, as the case may be. Every year, it's a ritual, they all meet for a two-to-three week holiday with one of the couples. This year, they meet in Quebec, in a villa in the Laurentians, near a lake, far from civilization.

East of Eaton
An experimental drama following three main characters who embody different attitudes about consumerism. A window onto Quebec in the late 1960s, this protest film explores these characters' daily lives, their trials and aspirations. Regarded as an innovative and militant work, buoyed by hard-hitting film language that includes subtitles and intertitles, quotations, offscreen voices and songs and references to advertising.
