Family History

In Montreal, in 2005, Julie Gagné is intrigued by the discovery of a novel that evokes the history of her family. The young woman meets the author, Jean Calixa, a solitary and alcoholic pianist. Over the course of their meetings, they discuss the joys and sorrows of this family during the 1960s and 70s. Settled on a farm in Estrie, the Gagnés had to move to Montreal after Monique, the youngest, fell seriously ill.
