Le Chien/The Dog
A son goes back home, to a trailer home somewhere in northern Ontario. Somewhere, nowhere.
Details
To talk to his father. To confront him. The son has seen the world. He has seen the dream of America, with its wide highways, its asphalt freedom… But the dream clashes with the silence of a crusked minority, the pettiness of the village, the father’s inability to hear, the immobility of the trailer home frozen in fear. The phantoms of abandonment haunt this isolated backwater. Yet outside, a dog tied up on a leash growls angrily and howls its despair at the moon…
