INDEPENDENT FILM FOR INDEPENDENT MINDS

When Yannick (Marc-André Grondin), a young film student, crashes his bicycle thanks to a pesky black cat that runs in front of him he approaches the occupant of the titular address, Jacques (Normand D’Amour), to ask for help and then finds himself in a very dangerous situation when he discovers that Jacques is holding someone in his house that he views as unrighteous and due to be punished by death. Not knowing what to do with Yannick, who is only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and not necessarily unrighteous, Jacques decides to keep him prisoner while he ponders exactly how to handle the situation. A tense situation is made all the more delicate by the presence of Jacques’ family - his wife Maude (Sonia Vachon), youngest daughter Anne (Élodie Larivière) and an elder daughter who may or may not be ready to take over her father’s duties, Michelle (Mylène St-Sauveur).
