Arsenault and Fils
Directed by Rafaël Ouellet
Produced by La Maison de Prod
A tense family drama about a tight-knit clan of poachers whose internal harmony fractures when an outsider and a returning member disrupt their established order.
The Arsenaults, a close-knit family who profit from illegal hunting, have ruled the roost for several generations in Témiscouata, Quebec. The return to the fold of Anthony, the impetuous youngest of the family, then the arrival of Émilie, a radio host who exercises an ascendancy over Anthony and his older brother Adam, will come to test the harmony of the clan.
