A tender, wintry coming-of-age portrait of a boy's relationship with his uncle and family in rural Quebec, balancing warmth with the quiet melancholy of small-town life and mortality.

Set in cold rural Quebec at Christmas time, we follow the coming of age of a young boy and the life of his family which owns the town's general store and undertaking business.
