Félix Leclerc

February 1927: Félix Leclerc's last year with his family before attending a private college in the fall. Accompanied by Fidor, his faithful friend, he will face adversity, love, death, and will embark on the path of adulthood.

Years after first being inspired by a Félix Leclerc song, Martine Chartrand directed the film MACPHERSON. Ten years in the making, it features animated painting on glass and draws on her extensive research on the title character. Filmmaker Serge Giguère was there from the start, carefully and sympathetically chronicling this exceptional creative process.

A commentary by writer Marcel Dubé, with narration by Monique Leyrac, enriches this previously unpublished documentary portrait.
