Plot
Raymond is a jealous, misanthropic, couch potato. Angèle is a sexy TV star, childish and disillusioned. One Halloween, their mother, Solange, suddenly dies. Raymond calls his sister for the first time in 10 years. She agrees to meet him and begins to investigate their mother's death, all in keeping with her TV role of police commissioner. But nothing is simple with the Marchildons.
Sinekatalog’s take
A grumpy brother and his flighty TV-star sister reunite after their mother dies on Halloween. Quebec black comedy that leans on family friction and gallows humour. Fun for fans of dark, irreverent funeral farces.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
