118 minutes, 1969

Documentary

This film is an essay on a crucial issue that pertains to the current state of the world: the notion of belonging to a country, a feeling that becomes rooted in a person’s heart. Old-fashioned sentimentality or a profound psychological reality? The action takes place within the context of a nation seeking its identity: French Canadians and other peoples who have no country to call their own: Natives in Québec, Bretons in France. An attempt is made to address this delicate notion; what happens to a man when he has no country and no patriotism? The film’s focus shifts to a genuine cultural refugee, a French Canadian who has moved from Western Canada to Paris. A fundamental question is raised: what types of people have the ‘‘maturity’’ to feel free wherever they live? And conversely, what does it take for an area to be referred to as ‘‘homeland’’?
