From (L), Alexis Martin, Suzanne Clément, Luc Picard and Denis Bouchard (R). Actor/director: Luc Picard Actress: Suzanne Clément The only Canadian film in the competition, this sees Louis, 40 years old, is a bit of a braggart who has long nurtured a childhood dream: to become an actor. Thanks to a cousin of his, he is asked to audition for a somewhat unusual part: a father videotaping a final message for his son. Louis rehearses the scene in secret, and doesn't even tell his girlfriend Suzie what he's up to. Suzie also has a secret of her own: she is pregnant with Louis' child.
