Tom, a young advertising copywriter, travels to the country for a funeral. There, hes shocked to find out no one knows who he is, nor who he was to the deceased, whose brother soon sets the rules of a twisted game. In order to protect the familys name and grieving mother, Tom now has to play the peacekeeper in a household whose obscure past bodes even greater darkness for his �trip� to the farm. Set in Quebecs rural panorama, this psychological thriller centres on the ever-growing gap between city and country and the oppositive nature of men who live there. Stockholm syndrome, deception, grief and secretive savageries pervade this brief and brutal pilgrimage through the warped and ugly truth. The winner of FIPRESCI Prize at Venice Film Festival.
