This film tells the city's story in every season, bathed in every kind of light, and scrutinizes it from every angle – including the least flattering. Lulled by a warm voice, we revisit the island and its banks, squares, alleyways, churches, and skyscrapers in the footsteps of "these artists who resemble us and who tell our stories:" architects. Borne by the rumour of yesteryear and the rhythms of today, with small strokes suggestive of a not-so-distant past and a future that is still somewhat worrisome, Montreal's soul is projected onto the screen, tucked into the folds of its incongruous architecture.

Can a woman fully achieve self-realization while at the same time giving of herself as a mother? Filmed during an actual pregnancy, and based on a journal that the director kept during one of her own pregnancies, this documentary shows the body of a pregnant woman and reveals her emotions and worries. It gives an enlightening glimpse into what goes on inside of a woman at each stage of this major life event. The film then follows up with a report on state-run daycare centres in Czechoslovakia, seeking solutions that might help a woman to be wife, mother and individual all at once. This was the first feature-length film about women in Québec; it was released in 1967, as the feminist movement was just beginning to rise.
