Description
Deep in the snowy outskirts of rural Quebec, bowling alley handyman Jean-Francois home-schools his adolescent daughter with single-minded protectiveness. Hermetic to the point of hibernation, he refuses to accept the outside world -– even as its inexplicable wonders begin to invade their private universe. This mysterious, poignant contemplation of solitude won the Best Director and Best Actor awards at the 2010 Locarno Film Festival.
