What A Kid Is About

Matthieu, thirty-three, learns that the father he never knew has died and flies to Quebec for the funeral, hoping to meet his two brothers. When he arrives in Montreal he finds that nobody knows he exists, and those who do are not interested. He waits in a foreign country at the edge of a foreign family, unable to say who he is. Philippe Lioret builds the film around a secret but produces distance rather than suspense: the experience of finding that the story you thought was yours is being held by someone else. Gabriel Arcand is its quiet centre.
