Theatre director Robert Lepage turns his talents to the cinema for this moderately ambitious drama. Pierre Lamontagne (Lothaire Bluteau) returns home to Quebec for his father's funeral and is prompted to find his adopted brother, Marc (Patrick Goyette). Together they set out to find Marc's natural father. From modern-day Quebec, the film continually flashes back to 1952, when Alfred Hitchcock was on location filming I Confess. Although vaguely unsettling, this lends the film depth and underscores religious and moral issues. Bluteau fails to carry the film, while Kristin Scott-Thomas puts in a relatively low-profile performance as Hitchcock's assistant.
