Hubert, a brash 17-year-old, is confused and torn by a love-hate relationship with his mother that consumes him more and more each day. After distressing ordeals and tragic episodes, Hubert will find his mother on the banks of Saint Lawrence river, where he grew up, and where a murder will be committed: the murder of childhood.

Notes
This is Xavier Dolan's first full lenght film· While there are a few rough spots, overall, they do not matter· It is said he wrote the script when he was sixteen· The film was released when he was just twenty· We are seeing the birth of a great filmmaker. And I am in lust· it's unseemly! I'm too old for that kind of thing.
