Plot
Storyline
This movie plays n two different times: One part in the past, Quebec in 1952 when Sir Alfred Hitchcock filmed I Confess (1953) in the isolated city. And the other part in the present, Quebec in 1994. Two brothers, Pierre (Lothaire Bluteau) and Marc (Patrick Goyette), want to know their true origins and begin to discover a lot of lies and intriges. This movie switches between the two plots in the present and the past in flashbacks.
The year is 1952, in Quebec City, Quebec. Rachel (Suzanne Clement), sixteen, unmarried, and pregnant, works in the church. Filled with shame, she unburdens her guilt to a young Priest under the confidentiality of the confessional. In the present year of 1994, Pierre Lamontagne (Lothaire Bluteau) has returned to Quebec to attend his father's funeral. He meets up with his adopted brother, Marc (Patrick Goyette), who has begun questioning his identity and has embarked on a quest for his roots that would lead them to the Quebec of the 1950s. Past and present converge in a complex web of intrinque where the answer to the mystery lies.
