The Auction
A quiet, introspective drama about an aging farmer's struggle between his legacy and his daughters' needs, rooted in rural Quebec family dynamics.
Gaby owns a farm on which he raises lambs: Bouchard & Sons Farm. But he has no sons. Rather, he has two daughters that he raised like princesses and who live far away, in the big city. One day, the oldest asks him for some financial support so she doesn't end up losing her house...
