Overview

Robert Lepage directed this Canadian comedy, filmed in black and white and color and adapted from Lepage's play The Seven Branches of the River Ota. In October 1970, Montreal actress Sophie (Anne-Marie Cadieux) appears in a Feydeau farce at the Osaka World's Fair. Back in Montreal, her boyfriend Michel (Alexis Martin) watches the October Crisis on TV and sees Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau declare the War Measures Act. The Canadian Army patrols Montreal streets. Sophie learns she's pregnant and phones Michel. However, Michel is immersed in politics, while Sophie rejects the amorous advances of her co-star (Eric Bernier), becomes friendly with a blind translator, and passes an evening with frivolous Canadian embassy official Walter (Richard Frechette) and his wife Patricia (Marie Gignac). Meanwhile, in Montreal, Michael plots terrorist activities. Commenting on East-West cultural distinctions, the film intercuts between Quebec (in black and white) and Japan (in color).

Sophie est une jeune actrice bourrée de talent qui part pour le Japon jouer une pièce de Feydeau dans le cadre de l'exposition internationale d'Osaka. Elle laisse Michel, son chum, à Montréal alors plongé en pleine crise d'octobre 70... Au cours d'un chassé-croisé comico-sentimental, elle tente désespérément de joindre Michel pour lui annoncer qu'elle est enceinte, tout en essayant de repousser les avances pressantes de son compagnon de scène, de jouer dans la pièce et de survivre à un souper embarrassant en compagnie de l'attaché culturel du Canada et de son épouse pincée. Pendant ce temps à Montréal, pour Michel, Michel, impliqué dans un attentat terroriste, la vie est en train de changer du tout au tout...
