About
"Quand Jenny Sauro se noie en sauvant son fils des eaux, les habitants de North Nation vivent un choc à la mesure de leur relation avec elle. Tout le monde dans ce village frontalier a croisé le regard de la serveuse du seul restaurant. Par petites touches se dresse alors un bilan, inventaire des gestes signifiants qui ont ponctué l'existence de cette femme tissée de rêves comme de désillusions. Le père, le fils, l'amie d'enfance, le laitier, les Indiens de la réserve d'à côté ou le camionneur de passage, tous sentiront résonner dans leur chair le drame de ce destin interrompu. Même les funérailles ouvriront une brèche dans l'ordinaire, offriront une occasion d'exprimer enfin ce qui est trop souvent tu. Pendant ce temps, sur le lac, le lent spectacle des glaces portées par les mouvements du gel et du dégel rappelle que ce qui a vécu ne disparaît jamais tout à fait." -- "When Jenny Sauro drowns saving her son, the people of North Nation experience a shock commensurate with their relationship with her. Everyone in this border village has met the gaze of the waitress of their only restaurant. In small steps, a balance sheet is drawn up, an inventory of the significant gestures that have punctuated the existence of this woman, woven with dreams and disillusions. The father, the son, the childhood friend, the milkman, the Indians of the reserve next door or the passing truck driver, all will feel the drama of this interrupted destiny echoing in their flesh. Even a funeral will be unusual, providing an opportunity to finally express what is too often overlooked. Meanwhile, on the lake, the slow spectacle of ice carried by the movements of freezing and thawing reminds us that what has lived never completely disappears." --
