- A documentary portrait of the playwright and novelist Michel Tremblay. Tremblay was born and grew up in Montreal, Quebec. He revolutionized the French Canadian literary scene in the mid-1960s, for a number of reasons. One was his use of 'joual', a French Quebecois dialect specific to Montreal. Another was privileging a different type of principal character - working class women, gay men, and other marginalized members of society. The film features interviews with Michel Tremblay and his close collaborators, as well as archive footage of his work.
