Forgotten Flowers
A film by André Forcier
Produced by Linda Pinet, Louis Laverdière and Jean-François
Roesler
With Roy Dupuis, Yves Jacques, Christine Beaulieu, Juliette
Gosselin, Émile Schneider, Mylène Mackay, Donald Pilon and
Gaston Lepage
Brother Marie-Victorin (Yves Jacques), author of the Laurentian
Flora and founder of Montreal’s Botanical Garden, is bored with
heaven and decides to return earth to help Albert Payette (Roy
Dupuis) save Quebec’s flora from Transgenia, a multinational
that is poisoning the Earth with chemicals.
Albert, a former agronomist turned beekeeper, greens the
rooftops of Montreal with his nephew Jerry Can (Émile Schneider)
and his friends from the punk community. Albert introduces
Marie-Victorin to his Honey-Mead which he sells to suburban
bourgeois ladies to finance his dream of retiring to idyllic
Mingan.
Lili de la Rosbil (Juliette Gosselin), an idealist young
journalist for the Ras-le-Bol blog and Mathilde Gavreau
(Christine Beaulieu), a big-time lawyer, will go to great
lengths to save the Mexican agricultural labourers forced to
work with Transgenia’s poisonous chemicals.
This Eco-Fable will see its conclusion meted out on the lush and
virgin shores of Mingan where Albert will produce his most
Nordic and special Honey Mead yet. |
