Description

Ontario Premiere!

A quiet, young man (Pierre-Luc Lafontaine) secretly leaves his home in Quebec to visit his father (Paul Doucet) in Maine where, helped by a public sex offender registry and fueled by a stifling anger, he locates and tracks down pedophiles. In parallel, his mother (Fanny Mallette) and her new husband, Laurent (Claude Despins), follow his trail in order to try to understand what could have pushed him into this murderous madness. Inspired by the true story of Stephen Marshall that shook Canadians in 2006.

In French with English subtitles


Alex (Pierre-Luc Lafontaine), en apparence doux et introverti, part en secret de chez lui au Québec pour aller visiter son père (Paul Doucet) dans le Maine. Là-bas, aidé d’un registre public et habité d’une sourde colère, il repère et traque des délinquants sexuels. En parallèle, la mère d’Alex, Rose (Fanny Mallette), et son nouveau mari, Laurent (Claude Despins), refont le voyage d’Alex afin de tenter de comprendre ce qui a pu le pousser dans cette folie meurtrière. L’Amour est librement inspiré de l’histoire de Stephen Marshall qui a ébranlé le Canada en 2006.
