This feature documentary by Jean-Claude Labrecque recounts the bold and astounding enterprise of French filmmaker Julien Duvivier, who shot a film adaptation of Louis Hémon's classic novel Maria Chapdelaine in Péribonka, a village in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, in 1934. What was the impact of the original film's production on the life of the community? What memories remain? What town secrets lie hidden in those memories?
