1970 film by Robin Spry

Canadian director Catherine Annau's debut work is a documentary about the legacy of Pierre Trudeau, the long-running Prime Minister of Canada, who governed during the 1970s. The film focuses particularly on Trudeau's goal of creating a thoroughly bilingual nation. Annau interviews eight people in their mid-30s on both sides of the linguistic divide. One tells of her life growing up in a community of hard-core Quebec separatists, while another, a yuppie from Toronto, recalls believing as a child that people in Montreal got drunk and had sex all day long. Annau has all of the interviewees discuss how Trudeau's policies affected their lives and their perceptions of the other side, in this issue that strikes to the heart of Canada's national identity.

这部加拿大喜剧由罗伯特-勒帕吉（Robert Lepage）执导，根据勒帕吉的剧本《太田川的七条支流》改编，以黑白和彩色拍摄。1970 年 10 月，蒙特利尔女演员苏菲（安妮-玛丽-卡迪欧饰）在大阪世博会上出演了费多的一出闹剧。回到蒙特利尔后，她的男友米歇尔（亚历克西斯-马丁 Alexis Martin 饰）在电视上看到了十月危机，并看到加拿大总理特鲁多宣布了《战争措施法》。加拿大军队在蒙特利尔街头巡逻。索菲得知自己怀孕了，于是打电话给米歇尔。然而，米歇尔沉浸于政治之中，而索菲则拒绝了男主角（埃里克-贝尔尼耶 Eric Bernier 饰）的示爱，与一位盲人翻译成为好友，并与轻浮的加拿大大使馆官员沃尔特 Walter（理查德-弗雷谢特 Richard Frechette 饰）及其妻子帕特里夏 Patricia（玛丽-吉尼亚克 Marie Gignac 饰）共度良宵。与此同时，迈克尔在蒙特利尔策划恐怖活动。影片在魁北克（黑白）和日本（彩色）之间穿插，对东西方文化差异进行了评论。

The film consists primarily of degraded footage of landscapes shot from vehicles moving across the country; meanwhile, 537 computer-generated permutations of the film’s title appear like subtitles—the letters are scrambled over and over again, undermining the meaning of Pierre Trudeau's infamous motto.

Two bored Montreal housewives (Monique Mercure & Louise Turcot), with inattentive husbands (Marcel Sabourin & Donald Pilon), and lots of time on their hands, amuse themselves by paying the local tradesmen something extra to give them amorous attention. Their entertainment leads to frantic confusion, however, when one of the visiting gentlemen - shall we say - 'expires'. The housewives deal with their unpleasant situation quite energetically.
