we should be good, the same.

They will be happy

41
00:06:16,641 --> 00:06:18,267
Everyone
missed you.
42
00:06:18,302 --> 00:06:20,104
- I was bored too
of the rest of you.
43
00:06:30,787 --> 00:06:32,754

00:06:50,004 --> 00:06:51,267
Give bread
to those who don't have one.
47
00:06:51,302 --> 00:06:52,642
And bless our family.
48
00:06:52,677 --> 00:06:55,040
In the name of the Father, of the Son
and the Holy Spirit, amen.
49
00:06:55,075 --> 00:06:56,272
-Amen.
50
00:07:07,252 --> 00:07:09,351
- We got stopped on the way
for mass in Péribonka.
51
00:07:10,926 --> 00:07:12,893
It's beautiful, the mass...
52
00:07:12,928 --> 00:07:15,093
Maybe not being able to do
our religion every Sunday,
53
00:07:15,128 --> 00:07:16,897
it prevents us from being
as lucky as the others.
54
00:07:16,932 --> 00:07:19,636
- We are too far away,
It's not our fault.
55
00:07:23,972 --> 00:07:26,137
- I met the son of
man Paradise when leaving.
56
00:07:26,172 --> 00:07:27,677
Francis.
He was with Belgians.
57
00:07:27,712 --> 00:07:30,482
They were going to buy
furs for the savages.
58
00:07:30,517 --> 00:07:31,912
He came to talk to me.
59
00:07:31,947 --> 00:07:33,650
- It's been a long time
that I didn't see it.
60
00:07:33,685 --> 00:07:35,014
- When his father died,
61
00:07:35,049 --> 00:07:36,983
he sold the land
in Saint-Michel-de-Mistassini.
62
00:07:37,018 --> 00:07:39,150
He became a runner of the woods.
63
00:07:39,185 --> 00:07:40,855
He said he was going
go up the river
64
00:07:40,890 --> 00:07:43,022
in a few weeks, when
the ice will have descended.
65
00:07:43,057 --> 00:07:44,793
They will pass close
of our concession,
66
00:07:44,828 --> 00:07:46,663
he said he would stop by
maybe to keep watch.
67
00:07:46,698 --> 00:07:48,500
- Maria didn't tell us that.
68
00:07:48,535 --> 00:07:50,128
- I still have several things
to tell you.
69
00:07:50,163 --> 00:07:51,734
It happened
lots of business.
70
00:07:54,068 --> 00:07:56,332
- There were vigils
every evening in Saint-Prime?
71
00:07:56,367 --> 00:07:58,334
- Not every evening,
but often.
72
00:07:58,369 --> 00:08:00,171
- Were you going to mass?
- Like everyone else.
73
00:08:00,206 --> 00:08:02,041
- With our cousins?
- That's it.
74
00:08:02,076 --> 00:08:03,614
- And there was
children my age?
75
00:08:03,649 --> 00:08:05,649
- Yes.
- How much?
76
00:08:05,684 --> 00:08:07,552
- A lot. I didn't count.
77
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:09,477
- Who is François Paradis?
78
00:08:09,512 --> 00:08:10,984
- You were just
a little girl,
79
00:08:11,019 --> 00:08:12,315
you can't remember it.
80
00:08:12,350 --> 00:08:13,954
- Do you remember that?
81
00:08:13,989 --> 00:08:15,791
- A little, yes.
82
00:08:15,826 --> 00:08:17,353
- Do you see each other often?
83
00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:19,630
- He was our neighbor
in Mistassini.
84
00:08:19,665 --> 00:08:21,995
- You, Maria, were my age,
han, is that it?
85
00:08:22,030 --> 00:08:23,227
- That's it.
86
00:08:38,750 --> 00:08:42,884
(conversational whisper)
87
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:44,248
(bark)
88
00:08:44,283 --> 00:08:45,590
- Hey, hey, hey...
89
00:08:45,625 --> 00:08:47,185
- A night light.
- Quiet, quiet.
90
00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:49,561
- It must be Eutrope Gagnon
who comes to see us.
91
00:08:49,596 --> 00:08:51,024
- You say all the time:
92
00:08:51,059 --> 00:08:52,762
“It must be Eutrope Gagnon
who comes to see us."
93
00:08:52,797 --> 00:08:54,566
Who do you want it to be?
He's our only neighbor.
94
00:08:54,601 --> 00:08:55,897
- It's not
a great prophecy.
95
00:08:55,932 --> 00:08:57,393
It's true that he comes often.
96
00:08:57,428 --> 00:08:58,702
- Alma-Rose, shut up.
97
00:08:58,737 --> 00:09:01,034
(indistinct whispers)
98
00:09:10,309 --> 00:09:12,243
- Am I disturbing?
- No way. Between.
99
00:09:12,278 --> 00:09:13,849
- The night was clear,
I said to myself
100
00:09:13,884 --> 00:09:15,917
that I was going to come and watch
and see if you had come back.
101
00:09:21,122 --> 00:09:22,726
(sigh)
102
00:09:22,761 --> 00:09:25,762
The weather is sweet, it's just
if it doesn't get wet. And the road?
103
00:09:25,797 --> 00:09:27,764
- The paths were not
wicked, but the water has risen
104
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:28,732
on the ice at places.
105
00:09:28,767 --> 00:09:30,261
- And you, Maria?
106
00:09:30,296 --> 00:09:32,703
You had a good trip
on the other side of the great lake?
107
00:09:32,738 --> 00:09:34,529
A whole month,
It’s still a long time, isn’t it?
108
00:09:34,564 --> 00:09:36,300
I imagine your parents
were very bored
109
00:09:36,335 --> 00:09:37,741
and were
glad to see you.
110
00:09:37,776 --> 00:09:39,303
- I had a good trip.
111
00:09:39,338 --> 00:09:41,404
But I'm happy
to have returned now.
112
00:09:45,608 --> 00:09:47,619
- The animals are in the stable
since the end of September
113
00:09:47,654 --> 00:09:49,313
and there's almost nothing left
in the barn.
114
00:09:49,348 --> 00:09:50,985
It seems like spring
not coming soon,
115
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:52,382
I don't know what we're going to do.
116
00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:54,054
- It's okay, I have a horse,
3 pigs, a cow,
117
00:09:54,089 --> 00:09:55,154
sheep and chickens, Sam.
118
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:02,601
- A few more weeks
then we're going to put them out.
119
00:10:04,363 --> 00:10:05,802
- If we didn't have
Esdras and Da'Bé,
120
00:10:05,837 --> 00:10:07,463
who earn good wages
in construction sites,
121
00:10:07,498 --> 00:10:08,464
how would we do it?
122
00:10:08,499 --> 00:10:09,806
Can you tell me well?
123
00:10:09,841 --> 00:10:11,071
- Wait a few months, Laura,
124
00:10:11,106 --> 00:10:12,600
when the boys
will come back from the woods,
125
00:10:12,635 --> 00:10:14,811
we're going to get to work
then we're going to make earth out of it.
126
00:10:14,846 --> 00:10:16,978
Boys, Tit'Bé and me.
127
00:10:17,013 --> 00:10:20,652
I'm going to hire a man
Plus, with five, it will go quickly.
128
00:10:22,117 --> 00:10:23,820
It's 2 years, have grain
and grazing,
129
00:10:23,855 --> 00:10:25,624
enough to feed well
animals, you will see.
130
00:10:27,023 --> 00:10:28,825
- That's 3 times
that he told me that.
131
00:10:28,860 --> 00:10:31,025
Three times
since our youth.
132
00:10:32,325 --> 00:10:33,764
Three times.
133
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:36,129
He took a concession,
left a barn,
134
00:10:36,164 --> 00:10:38,527
a house, a stable,
works in the woods.
135
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:42,102
Three times he did
his piece of offal.
136
00:10:42,137 --> 00:10:43,873
Three times,
he cleared the place all by himself.
137
00:10:45,976 --> 00:10:47,470
And then he sold
138
00:10:47,505 --> 00:10:49,505
to go away and start again
further in the North.
139
00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:51,639
Discouraged, suddenly, as soon as
that the neighbors were arriving
140
00:10:51,674 --> 00:10:54,147
worse than the country was starting to
populate a little and open up.
141
00:10:54,182 --> 00:10:57,821
Three times he wanted to leave
and then push ever further.
142
00:10:59,253 --> 00:11:01,187
Instead of taking land
in one of the old parishes.
143
00:11:10,165 --> 00:11:11,703
So come and play
with the rest of us, Maria.
144
00:11:11,738 --> 00:11:12,902
We're going to play as a team.
145
00:11:23,882 --> 00:11:25,981
So play with your father.
146
00:11:26,016 --> 00:11:27,686
I'm going to play with Eutrope.
147
00:11:39,766 --> 00:11:40,798
He gets wet.
148
00:11:42,197 --> 00:11:44,065
- Yes, spring is not too
far away, Madame Chapdelaine.
149
00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:45,495
He is there.
150
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:47,530
I think that since
the beginning of the world,
151
00:11:47,565 --> 00:11:49,202
there has never been a spring
like that spring.
152
00:11:50,271 --> 00:11:52,205
(downpour)
153
00:11:54,814 --> 00:11:56,605
- Play now, Maria,
It's your turn.
154
00:12:28,309 --> 00:12:30,210
We hear falls there!
155
00:12:30,245 --> 00:12:31,409

(bleats)
189
00:18:17,691 --> 00:18:19,625
- Télesphore, he took
the strong bottle
190
00:18:19,660 --> 00:18:21,330
in father's cupboard.
191
00:18:25,028 --> 00:18:26,137
- Telesphore!
192
00:18:30,473 --> 00:18:32,968
- Telesphore,
my little clumsy one!
193
00:18:33,003 --> 00:18:34,937
You will see,
if I catch you!
194
00:18:43,453 --> 00:18:44,650
- I'm tired of it.
195
00:18:45,851 --> 00:18:47,191
You let him do it
anything
196
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:48,654
nothing but
because he's a boy.
197
00:18:48,689 --> 00:18:50,161
Tomorrow, there you go
feed him again
198
00:18:50,196 --> 00:18:52,053
then he will start again.
199
00:18:53,232 --> 00:18:54,528
He is never punished
for real.
200
00:18:55,729 --> 00:18:57,333
Me, I want it to be a year old
without eating.
201
00:18:57,368 --> 00:18:58,928
- But no, let's see,
It's too long, a year.
202
00:18:58,963 --> 00:19:00,369
He's going to starve.
203
00:19:00,404 --> 00:19:01,502
- Well, that's it,
204
00:19:01,537 --> 00:19:02,998
you don't want to punish him,
you see clearly.
205
00:19:13,076 --> 00:19:14,482
(buzzing)
206
00:19:14,517 --> 00:19:17,254
- It's because of the demon
of disobedience, Maria.
207
00:19:18,686 --> 00:19:19,817
- Stop saying that.
208
00:19:22,492 --> 00:19:25,020
- I haven't eaten, is that
am I going to starve?
209
00:19:26,892 --> 00:19:28,595
- But no,
you won't die of hunger.
210
00:19:31,831 --> 00:19:32,929
- Hmm.
211
00:19:36,242 --> 00:19:38,605
(birds chirp)
212
00:19:50,850 --> 00:19:52,454
- You are Tit'Bé,
is that it?
213
00:19:55,426 --> 00:19:57,888
(barking)
214
00:20:01,432 --> 00:20:03,762
- Go ahead, his mother.
Say it, your prophecy.
215
00:20:03,797 --> 00:20:05,665
It must be Eutrope Gagnon
who comes to see us.
216
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:07,436
- Alma-Rose.
217
00:20:07,471 --> 00:20:08,899
(bleats and cackles)
218
00:20:08,934 --> 00:20:10,868
(bark)
219
00:20:32,496 --> 00:20:34,859
- Oh, well...
A ghost.
220
00:20:34,894 --> 00:20:36,597
François Paradis.
221
00:20:44,343 --> 00:20:46,101
- We camped at the end of the portage,
along the falls.
222
00:20:46,136 --> 00:20:47,234
We had to pitch the tent,
223
00:20:47,269 --> 00:20:48,741
install the Belgians
for the night.
224
00:20:48,776 --> 00:20:50,743
- It wasn't safe to take
the woods at that time.
225
00:20:50,778 --> 00:20:52,778
- There's nothing to scare me
in the forest, Madame Chapdelaine.
226
00:20:56,487 --> 00:20:58,652
Tit'Bé and Alma-Rose have changed.
227
00:20:58,687 --> 00:21:00,456
When you have
left Mistassini,
228
00:21:00,491 --> 00:21:01,985
they were equally high.
229
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:03,591
- But you, in 7 years,
you haven't changed.
230
00:21:03,626 --> 00:21:04,955
Not all.
231
00:21:04,990 --> 00:21:06,462
(bleating in the distance)
232
00:21:06,497 --> 00:21:08,860
But Maria, too,
you have to find a difference.
233
00:21:10,336 --> 00:21:13,062
- Yes, but...
I recognized her the same way.
234
00:21:13,097 --> 00:21:15,735
- Samuel told me that you had
sold the land?
235
00:21:15,770 --> 00:21:17,165
What are you becoming?
236
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,672
- Since my father died,
237
00:21:18,707 --> 00:21:20,773
I have almost always worked
in the wood.
238
00:21:20,808 --> 00:21:22,907
Hunt, trade
with the savages of the great lake,
239
00:21:22,942 --> 00:21:25,679
those of Mistassini
and Rivière-aux-Foins.
240
00:21:25,714 --> 00:21:27,417
I also spent
2 years in Labrador.
241
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:28,616
And I worked as a guide
242
00:21:28,651 --> 00:21:30,079
for English surveyors
further north.
243
00:21:30,114 --> 00:21:31,586
Earn my living in the construction site,
244
00:21:31,621 --> 00:21:33,621
serve as a guide
or trade with the savages,
245
00:21:33,656 --> 00:21:35,084
That's my pleasure, but...
246
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,087
always scratch
the same piece of land,
247
00:21:38,122 --> 00:21:40,122
I could never have done that.
248
00:21:40,157 --> 00:21:43,224
It would have seemed to me to be attached
like an animal with a stake.
249
00:21:44,634 --> 00:21:46,799
- Men like that...
250
00:21:46,834 --> 00:21:49,967
It seems that the wood knows
magic to attract you.
251
00:21:50,002 --> 00:21:51,375
However... there is
nothing nicer
252
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:52,937
like a beautiful piece
board terrain
253
00:21:52,972 --> 00:21:54,037
in an old parish, right?
254
00:21:54,072 --> 00:21:55,610
- Mom...
255
00:21:55,645 --> 00:21:58,481
- I understand, but me,
I wouldn't have been happy.
256
00:21:58,516 --> 00:22:00,043
(insect stridulations)
257
00:22:03,213 --> 00:22:04,553
Mmm!
258
00:22:11,925 --> 00:22:13,397
Thank you, it was very good!
259
00:22:15,159 --> 00:22:17,830
- Are there any cities
where were you, to the north?
260
00:22:17,865 --> 00:22:20,030
- There are villages,
but almost no culture.
261
00:22:20,065 --> 00:22:22,670
The winters are still
harder than here.
262
00:22:22,705 --> 00:22:25,409
We only have dogs
to hitch up to the sleds.
263
00:22:25,444 --> 00:22:27,235
Beautiful dogs...
264
00:22:27,270 --> 00:22:29,237
But they are smart and often
only half tamed.
265
00:22:33,848 --> 00:22:36,849
- And did you have any trouble?
with the savages?
266
00:22:38,281 --> 00:22:40,248
- Nishteshatsh...
267
00:22:40,283 --> 00:22:42,888
I always
well matched with them.
268
00:22:42,923 --> 00:22:44,989
They are like
brothers to me.
269
00:22:45,024 --> 00:22:47,497
Those of Mistassini,
I know almost all of them
270
00:22:47,532 --> 00:22:49,092
because they came to us
when I was young.
271
00:22:50,931 --> 00:22:52,733
My father hunted
often in winter.
272
00:22:55,067 --> 00:22:57,166
And one day, at the top
of Rivière-aux-Foins,
273
00:22:57,201 --> 00:22:59,234
a tree that he was felling distorted
and fell on him.
274
00:22:59,269 --> 00:23:00,609
He was all alone.
275
00:23:02,107 --> 00:23:04,580
It's savages who got it
found the next day by chance.
276
00:23:04,615 --> 00:23:07,880
He was crippled and frozen
on their hunting territory.
277
00:23:07,915 --> 00:23:10,014
They could well have done
pretending not to see him
278
00:23:10,049 --> 00:23:11,180
then let him die there...
279
00:23:11,215 --> 00:23:13,556
But they took it
on their train
280
00:23:13,591 --> 00:23:15,217
then took him back to their tent.
281
00:23:15,252 --> 00:23:16,790
And they took care of him.
282
00:23:18,596 --> 00:23:21,025
You would have known his father,
he was arough man,
283
00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:22,763
he often took a hit,
but he was just,
284
00:23:22,798 --> 00:23:23,962
and he had
a good memory...
285
00:23:23,997 --> 00:23:25,964
When he left,
286
00:23:25,999 --> 00:23:27,966
he told them to come
see it in spring,
287
00:23:28,001 --> 00:23:29,539
when they come down
with their furs
288
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:30,903
in Pointe-Bleue.
289
00:23:30,938 --> 00:23:32,443
“François Paradis, from
Mistassini,” he told them.
290
00:23:32,478 --> 00:23:33,741
"You will not forget,
François Paradis."
291
00:23:34,975 --> 00:23:36,271
When they stopped
in spring
292
00:23:36,306 --> 00:23:37,404
going down the river,
293
00:23:37,439 --> 00:23:38,713
my father housed them
as it should
294
00:23:38,748 --> 00:23:40,583
then they left
with new axes...
295
00:23:40,618 --> 00:23:42,816
beautiful wool blankets
and tobacco for 3 months.
296
00:23:45,117 --> 00:23:47,216
After that they stopped
with us every spring
297
00:23:47,251 --> 00:23:49,119
and my father had a choice
of the most beautiful skins
298
00:23:49,154 --> 00:23:51,319
for less than agents
companies, than the English.
299
00:23:51,354 --> 00:23:52,925
When he died,
it was the same for me,
300
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,389
because I was his son
and my name was the same.
301
00:23:55,424 --> 00:23:56,533
François Paradis...
302
00:23:58,636 --> 00:23:59,833
If I had had more capital,
303
00:23:59,868 --> 00:24:01,505
I could have done a lot
money with them.
304
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,002
- You see, François,
305
00:24:04,037 --> 00:24:06,103
the words of our fathers
are our titles of nobility.
306
00:24:07,513 --> 00:24:09,106
- I think you are right,
Ms. Chapdelaine.
307
00:24:12,815 --> 00:24:14,309
We're going to go back down
at the end of summer,
308
00:24:14,344 --> 00:24:15,585
for the feast of Saint Anne,
309
00:24:15,620 --> 00:24:17,411
and I will try to stop
longer
310
00:24:17,446 --> 00:24:18,445
to see Mr. Chapdelaine.
311
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:19,820
But now I have to go back
312
00:24:19,855 --> 00:24:21,118
in the wood,
find my men.
313
00:24:22,352 --> 00:24:24,528
Because without me,
they would be lost.
314
00:24:24,563 --> 00:24:26,156
(little laughs)
315
00:24:26,191 --> 00:24:28,829
- I can drive François back
to the end of the concession?
316
00:24:28,864 --> 00:24:31,161
- Yes. But you stop there
edge of the woods, understand?
317
00:24:32,571 --> 00:24:34,461
You are always welcome
here, François.
318
00:24:34,496 --> 00:24:35,935
You feel at home.
319
00:24:35,970 --> 00:24:37,167
- It's nice to see you again.
320
00:24:41,074 --> 00:24:43,074
- Come on, Tit'Bé, go ahead,
you see clearly that he is waiting for you.
321
00:25:02,425 --> 00:25:04,227
- So it's nice
to have visitors!
322
00:25:04,262 --> 00:25:05,734
When I was a girl,
in Saint-Gédéon,
323
00:25:05,769 --> 00:25:07,197
the house was
full of night lights
324
00:25:07,232 --> 00:25:09,705
almost every Saturday evening
and every Sunday.
325
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:12,642
Adélard Saint-Onge, who
courted for so long...
326
00:25:12,677 --> 00:25:16,679
Wilfrid Tremblay, the merchant...
who had such a beautiful way
327
00:25:16,714 --> 00:25:19,814
and who always tried to
speak like the French.
328
00:25:19,849 --> 00:25:21,178
Not counting your father,
329
00:25:21,213 --> 00:25:23,884
who came to see us almost
every week
330
00:25:23,919 --> 00:25:25,721
for 3 years
before I decide.
331
00:25:27,758 --> 00:25:29,923
- So he was very patient,
his father.
332
00:25:29,958 --> 00:25:31,892
Three years...
333
00:25:33,357 --> 00:25:34,961

525
00:40:56,554 --> 00:40:58,983

the remaining belongings

to try to sell the land.
527
00:41:02,054 --> 00:41:04,252
- You don't want to keep it
and to live there?
528
00:41:04,287 --> 00:41:05,693
- That didn't tempt me
to become a resident.

Not all.
530
00:41:08,533 --> 00:41:10,357

you are the son of Elzear.

- Elzear, he had married
a little Gauthier,
538
00:41:24,681 --> 00:41:25,944
from Kiskissink.
539
00:41:25,979 --> 00:41:27,616
But you, Laura,
you must have known them?
540
00:41:27,651 --> 00:41:29,717
- I remember well
your brother's family, yes.
541
00:41:29,752 --> 00:41:30,982
There was Donat, the oldest,
542
00:41:31,017 --> 00:41:32,478
the one who left
live in Kénogami.
543
00:41:32,513 --> 00:41:33,853
There was also Adhémard...
544
00:41:33,888 --> 00:41:35,987
and Elijah, who married
with a Murray.
545
00:41:36,022 --> 00:41:37,285
There was the great Amédée...
546
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,353
there was Armand,
J-B and Ludger, yeah.
547
00:41:39,388 --> 00:41:41,564
There was Sigefroid and Alcide
the youngest.
548
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,489
Alcide is married
to a girl from Baie-Saint-Paul,
549
00:41:43,524 --> 00:41:44,666
a little Gagnon.
550
00:41:44,701 --> 00:41:46,195
And there were his sisters,
551
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:48,197
Albertine, who married
with a Bouchard de Roberval.
552
00:41:49,365 --> 00:41:51,134
What was his name again?
553
00:41:51,169 --> 00:41:52,674
- Uh... Jules!
554
00:41:52,709 --> 00:41:54,500
- Jules Bouchard.
555
00:41:54,535 --> 00:41:56,678
A brother of Pite and Johnny.
556
00:41:56,713 --> 00:41:58,141
There was his sister Jeanne!
557
00:41:58,176 --> 00:41:59,714
She is dead, she
wasn't even 12 years old.
558
00:41:59,749 --> 00:42:01,243
There was Rose-Olympe,
559
00:42:01,278 --> 00:42:03,179
who was always with the
small Drolet de Saint-Henri.
560
00:42:03,214 --> 00:42:05,918
Marie-Anne and Juliette Drolet,
cousins of my mother.
561
00:42:05,953 --> 00:42:08,349
Their mother took care of
from the post office
562
00:42:08,384 --> 00:42:09,724
and their father had
provided the wood
563
00:42:09,759 --> 00:42:10,890
and the land for the church.
564
00:42:10,925 --> 00:42:12,089
And there was Elzéar.
565
00:42:12,124 --> 00:42:13,992
Married to a Gauthier
from Kiskissink, yes.
566
00:42:14,027 --> 00:42:16,027
Hélène Gauthier!
567
00:42:16,062 --> 00:42:18,733
- Well... That's it!
That's right.
568
00:42:18,768 --> 00:42:20,735
But he's... he's their son.
569
00:42:20,770 --> 00:42:22,836
A little Adélard,
like the grandfather!
570
00:42:22,871 --> 00:42:24,706
(laughing)
571
00:42:24,741 --> 00:42:27,104
- There are many Canadians
where you are?
572
00:42:27,139 --> 00:42:29,744
- Where I was first,
in the state of Maine,
573
00:42:29,779 --> 00:42:31,878
there were more Canadians than
Americans or Irish.
574
00:42:31,913 --> 00:42:34,045
Everyone spoke French.
575
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,245
Hmm. The place where I stay
now has less.
576
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:38,115
Some families,
all the same.
577
00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:39,952
- And it’s a big place,
where you are?
578
00:42:39,987 --> 00:42:41,448
- 90,000?
579
00:42:41,483 --> 00:42:44,121
- 90,000? Hey,
it's bigger than Quebec!
580
00:42:44,156 --> 00:42:45,628
- Yeah.
581
00:42:45,663 --> 00:42:47,553
- By the tanks, we are just
an hour from Boston.
582
00:42:47,588 --> 00:42:49,423
That's
a real big place.
583
00:42:50,591 --> 00:42:52,195
- When I was a girl,
584
00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:53,933
it was almost everyone
who was leaving for the States.
585
00:42:53,968 --> 00:42:55,429
We heard about
big wages
586
00:42:55,464 --> 00:42:57,805
who won there,
in factories.
587
00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,367
Every year it was
several families
588
00:42:59,402 --> 00:43:00,907
who sold their land
and left Canada.
589
00:43:00,942 --> 00:43:02,040
- Yeah, that's true.
590
00:43:02,075 --> 00:43:03,470
(cackles)
591
00:43:19,356 --> 00:43:22,324
(rumble of thunder)
592
00:44:08,009 --> 00:44:09,646
(small laugh)
593
00:44:26,654 --> 00:44:29,127
(laughs)
594
00:44:29,162 --> 00:44:31,228
- Hello, everyone!
595
00:44:31,263 --> 00:44:33,967
- Well, more visitors!
596
00:44:34,002 --> 00:44:35,562
- Ah, well, you hold your
promises, Francis!
597
00:44:35,597 --> 00:44:37,564
- Give your chair, Da'Bé.
598
00:44:37,599 --> 00:44:38,840
I present to you
François Paradis,
599
00:44:38,875 --> 00:44:40,842
of Saint-Michel-de-Mistassini.
600
00:44:40,877 --> 00:44:42,173
A family friend!
- I knew his father!
601
00:44:42,208 --> 00:44:43,911
A great man!
602
00:44:43,946 --> 00:44:45,539
Larger than life!
- Hum, hum!
603
00:44:45,574 --> 00:44:46,914
- Yeah.
- Did you have a good trip?
604
00:44:46,949 --> 00:44:49,543
- No, we were unlucky
all the way.
605
00:44:49,578 --> 00:44:51,248
- There is one of the Belgians
who had a fever,
606
00:44:51,283 --> 00:44:52,414
who almost died.
607
00:44:52,449 --> 00:44:53,921
- Hmm?
608
00:44:53,956 --> 00:44:56,385
- After that, we didn't find each other
badly late in the season.
609
00:44:56,420 --> 00:44:57,892
Several savages
had already gone down
610
00:44:57,927 --> 00:44:58,860
in Sainte-Anne-de-Chicoutimi.
611
00:44:58,895 --> 00:45:00,686
We couldn't see them.
612
00:45:00,721 --> 00:45:03,832
And finally, they capsized
a canoe jumping the rapids.
613
00:45:03,867 --> 00:45:06,164
We had misery
to fish out the pelts.
614
00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:08,694
And that's without taking into account that
bosses almost drowned.
615
00:45:08,729 --> 00:45:10,740
But here we come back the same,
616
00:45:10,775 --> 00:45:12,401
it always does
a job done!
617
00:45:13,877 --> 00:45:15,877
Anyway, it's nice
to see the houses again.
618
00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:19,243
- Han? See?
619
00:45:19,278 --> 00:45:21,410
- You always say
that we live deep in the woods
620
00:45:21,445 --> 00:45:23,016
and we never see anyone.
621
00:45:23,051 --> 00:45:25,315
Account! There are 11 people.
622
00:45:26,648 --> 00:45:28,549
- Yeah.
623
00:45:28,584 --> 00:45:30,089
But that's a lot of boys
624
00:45:30,124 --> 00:45:32,025
and nothing but a girl,
for example.
625
00:45:32,060 --> 00:45:33,191
(laughs)
626
00:45:33,226 --> 00:45:35,325
Han?
- Well yes.
627
00:46:01,254 --> 00:46:02,715
- We lost the map.
628
00:46:02,750 --> 00:46:04,794
She's the lady of the heart.
629
00:46:04,829 --> 00:46:06,158
(indistinct conversation
far away)
630
00:46:06,193 --> 00:46:09,095
- The man Murray,
he had hired a Frenchman.
631
00:46:09,130 --> 00:46:11,966
You know how
he wasn't bad, the guy
632
00:46:12,001 --> 00:46:14,331
One day, while posing in hinny
on the roof of the barn,
633
00:46:14,366 --> 00:46:16,597
the Frenchman escapes
a pack of hinny
634
00:46:16,632 --> 00:46:18,137
on a turkey from Mrs. Murray.
635
00:46:18,172 --> 00:46:19,237
(laughing)
636
00:46:19,272 --> 00:46:21,470
He kills him dead. Paf!
637
00:46:21,505 --> 00:46:23,142
(laughing)
638
00:46:23,177 --> 00:46:25,342
He said: "Ques
What will Mrs. Murray say?
639
00:46:25,377 --> 00:46:27,245
“Quessé
What is Mrs. Murray going to say?”
640
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,577
The guy said:
“Don’t worry.
641
00:46:29,612 --> 00:46:32,580
"I'm going to tell him he's dead
from a sunburn."
642
00:46:32,615 --> 00:46:34,483
Not long after,
Mrs. Murray re-solders.
643
00:46:34,518 --> 00:46:38,586
And then she realizes that a
of his turkeys died.
644
00:46:38,621 --> 00:46:40,654
The Frenchman must have been afraid
of the good woman cursed
645
00:46:40,689 --> 00:46:41,996
because she was ugly!
646
00:46:42,031 --> 00:46:43,866
Oh, how ugly she was!
Uglier than me even.
647
00:46:43,901 --> 00:46:45,692
Ugly as the devil,
she scared the animals.
648
00:46:45,727 --> 00:46:47,628
She was doing
turn the wind on board.
649
00:46:47,663 --> 00:46:51,302
She said: "Here,
a death turkey?"
650
00:46:51,337 --> 00:46:53,766
The man said: “It’s
a sunburn, my wife!”
651
00:46:53,801 --> 00:46:56,538
The good woman responds:
652
00:46:56,573 --> 00:46:58,672
"It can't be! He's bleeding!"
653
00:46:58,707 --> 00:47:02,049
(laughs)
654
00:47:02,084 --> 00:47:04,183
The man didn't know
no more what to say to him,
655
00:47:04,218 --> 00:47:06,515
makes him come down from the roof,
656
00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:10,585
worse... he moves slowly
towards his wife.
657
00:47:11,687 --> 00:47:14,061
And he says...
658
00:47:14,096 --> 00:47:16,789
He said: "Well, what
Do you want me to do that?”
659
00:47:16,824 --> 00:47:20,133
(laughs)
660
00:47:20,168 --> 00:47:23,972
- Ah... The good woman Murray.
661
00:47:24,007 --> 00:47:27,668
(laughs)
662
00:47:27,703 --> 00:47:30,638
- The good woman, she is
returned to the house.
663
00:47:30,673 --> 00:47:32,475
And the Frenchman returned
in France.
664
00:47:32,510 --> 00:47:35,247
(laughs)
665
00:47:43,521 --> 00:47:45,059
- It's yours.
666
00:47:50,198 --> 00:47:53,001
You are too strong to
the others, Madame Chapdelaine.
667
00:47:53,036 --> 00:47:55,135
(laughs)
668
00:48:03,981 --> 00:48:05,838
- Oh!
669
00:48:05,873 --> 00:48:08,115
Are you ready
to get washed?
670
00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:09,413
- We'll see.
671
00:48:09,448 --> 00:48:10,579
(laughing)
672
00:48:13,287 --> 00:48:16,057
- It must be difficult to
live away from others like that.
673
00:48:18,259 --> 00:48:20,061
Have you ever traveled, Maria?
674
00:48:20,096 --> 00:48:22,426
Have you ever been to Quebec?
675
00:48:22,461 --> 00:48:23,625
Or in Montreal?
676
00:48:25,893 --> 00:48:27,431
Have you ever been
in Chicoutimi?
677
00:48:27,466 --> 00:48:28,564
- No.
678
00:48:30,898 --> 00:48:32,766
- I advise you
to visit Quebec.
679
00:48:32,801 --> 00:48:34,042
If you have the chance.
680
00:48:34,077 --> 00:48:36,242
It's far away,
but it's a beautiful city.
681
00:48:36,277 --> 00:48:39,146
(indistinct conversation
far away)
682
00:48:41,645 --> 00:48:43,711
- Maria didn't
a very nice way to have an evening.
683
00:48:43,746 --> 00:48:45,581
She's not used to it
to the visit.
684
00:48:45,616 --> 00:48:47,385
- Ah, uh, things
who arrive.
685
00:48:47,420 --> 00:48:49,354
(laugh)
686
00:48:50,918 --> 00:48:53,028
- I have no game.
687
00:48:54,295 --> 00:48:56,757
(insect stridulations)
688
00:48:56,792 --> 00:48:58,099
(buzzing)
689
00:48:58,134 --> 00:49:00,761
- Télesphore, watch for the smoke!
We get eaten.
690
00:49:00,796 --> 00:49:02,565
(insect stridulations)
691
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,006
- Are you ready?
692
00:49:04,041 --> 00:49:06,173
- Clover evening.
693
00:49:08,045 --> 00:49:09,242
- All right.
694
00:49:09,277 --> 00:49:10,243
(insect stridulations)
695
00:49:10,278 --> 00:49:12,146
In clover... In clover!
696
00:49:26,558 --> 00:49:29,526
- We have a beautiful moon
See you tonight, eh?
697
00:49:29,561 --> 00:49:31,693
If you look
as it should, there,
698
00:49:31,728 --> 00:49:33,860
you're going to see the guy who saws
wood with his saw.
699
00:49:35,072 --> 00:49:36,896
Do you see him, the good man
who saws wood?
700
00:49:40,044 --> 00:49:42,539
You know that the moon is
made of sawdust, eh?
701
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:46,840
You know that, some evenings,
in construction sites,
702
00:49:46,875 --> 00:49:49,612
when it's very dark
that there are high winds,
703
00:49:49,647 --> 00:49:51,878
men can see
gusts of sawdust
704
00:49:51,913 --> 00:49:52,978
which fall from the sky.
705
00:49:53,013 --> 00:49:55,684
(insect stridulations)
706
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,390
- Have you ever seen the Windigo
in the woods?
707
00:49:59,492 --> 00:50:00,524
- Yeah.
708
00:50:00,559 --> 00:50:02,955
I saw him once.
709
00:50:02,990 --> 00:50:05,001
I think it was him.
710
00:50:06,169 --> 00:50:07,531
In the end of La Tuque.
711
00:50:09,271 --> 00:50:11,601
He must have thought I was hunting
on its territory.
712
00:50:12,901 --> 00:50:15,143
I was lucky,
he let me go, but...
713
00:50:15,178 --> 00:50:17,178
there are others
who were not lucky.
714
00:50:19,006 --> 00:50:20,412
- Were you afraid?
715
00:50:20,447 --> 00:50:22,007
- No.
716
00:50:22,042 --> 00:50:24,416
It doesn't scare me.
717
00:50:24,451 --> 00:50:26,550
- If he comes here, I
I'm going to take my father's gun
718
00:50:26,585 --> 00:50:27,914
and I'm going to shoot it.
719
00:50:27,949 --> 00:50:29,751
- He stays in the woods.
He protects his territory.
720
00:50:29,786 --> 00:50:31,258
He won't come here.
721
00:50:31,293 --> 00:50:33,161
- Or I'll go
into the woods to kill him. Pow!
722
00:50:33,196 --> 00:50:34,756
- Well there...
723
00:50:36,232 --> 00:50:37,495
(small laugh)
724
00:50:37,530 --> 00:50:39,431
(insect stridulations)
725
00:50:39,466 --> 00:50:41,169
- You sleep here tonight,
Francis?
726
00:50:41,204 --> 00:50:43,237
- Of course,
he's going to sleep here.
727
00:50:43,272 --> 00:50:44,667
Tomorrow is the party
of Sainte-Anne.
728
00:50:44,702 --> 00:50:47,032
We're all going to go to the blueberries.
Men too!
729
00:50:47,067 --> 00:50:48,374
And worse those
who will not report
730
00:50:48,409 --> 00:50:50,079
a large, full boiler
will not eat it.

735
00:51:08,297 --> 00:51:10,022
that I took in
boys' things.
736
00:51:10,057 --> 00:51:11,991
It will do to you.
- Thank you, Mrs. Chapdelaine.

this year.
748

These are the spring frosts
who made them die.
749
00:55:04,401 --> 00:55:06,830
This way, the snow
stayed longer
750

and protected them
of the first frosts.

(whisper of a stream)
760
00:56:22,809 --> 00:56:24,710
- So stop looking,
Eutrope.
761
00:56:24,745 --> 00:56:26,041
There are plenty of them here!
762
00:56:38,385 --> 00:56:40,660
My bucket is already almost full
and yours is still empty.
763
00:56:42,092 --> 00:56:43,157
I'll help you a little.

(birds chirp)
767
00:57:39,050 --> 00:57:41,347
- Perhaps you were told
something against me.
768
00:57:41,382 --> 00:57:42,491
- No.
769
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,092
- It's true that I used to
to take a pretty good hit
770
00:57:50,127 --> 00:57:51,566
when I came back from construction sites
udder from the log drive.
771
00:57:55,132 --> 00:57:57,330
It is also true that there was a
time when I sacrificed quite a bit.
772
00:57:59,037 --> 00:58:00,938
To live all the time with
menroughin the wood,
773
00:58:00,973 --> 00:58:01,840
we get used to that.
774
00:58:04,306 --> 00:58:06,306
Father Tremblay
argued with me once
775
00:58:06,341 --> 00:58:07,648
because I said
in front of him
776
00:58:07,683 --> 00:58:09,474
that I didn't have
afraid of the devil...
777
00:58:09,509 --> 00:58:11,311
Well.
778
00:58:13,557 --> 00:58:15,524
I will never be
a baluster gnawer.
779
00:58:17,825 --> 00:58:19,495
It's all over, Maria.
780
00:58:22,027 --> 00:58:23,862
I want to come back home!
781
00:58:27,032 --> 00:58:29,131
I'm going to go down to Grandma's
next week
782
00:58:29,166 --> 00:58:31,496
to work on the lock
wood for the rest of the summer.
783
00:58:31,531 --> 00:58:33,707
I'm going to work all summer
at 2 piastres per day,
784
00:58:33,742 --> 00:58:35,236
I will put money aside.
785
00:58:37,713 --> 00:58:40,175
In the fall I'm sure
find a job likeforeman
786
00:58:40,210 --> 00:58:41,374
in a construction site
with big wages.
787
00:58:43,048 --> 00:58:45,587
Next spring I will have
more than 500 piastres saved,
788
00:58:45,622 --> 00:58:46,588
clear, and I'll come back...
789
00:58:53,289 --> 00:58:55,355
You will still be here
next spring, Maria?
790
00:58:59,295 --> 00:59:00,294
- Yes.
791
00:59:03,134 --> 00:59:04,463
(small laugh)
792
00:59:06,566 --> 00:59:07,873

01:00:59,052 --> 01:01:00,788
we still have one month
before wintering.
799
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:02,856
I always heard
old people say that.
800
01:01:02,891 --> 01:01:05,551
- I think the same. One month.
801
01:01:05,586 --> 01:01:07,762
Our summers are way too short,
it's discouraging.
802
01:01:16,839 --> 01:01:18,971

(cackles)
805
01:01:23,010 --> 01:01:25,912
- When I was at Saint-Prime,
I spoke to him several times.
806
01:01:25,947 --> 01:01:27,815
She told me how a
young man from the village
807
01:01:27,850 --> 01:01:29,542
and another from Normandin
courted her together.
808
01:01:29,577 --> 01:01:31,247
They often went...
809
01:01:31,282 --> 01:01:33,348
for several months
watch over them.
810
01:01:33,383 --> 01:01:35,317
She admitted to me that she
loved them both,
811
01:01:35,352 --> 01:01:37,550
but it was Zotique,
the boy from Normandin,
812
01:01:37,585 --> 01:01:38,727
which she liked best.
813
01:01:38,762 --> 01:01:40,729
But Zotique
went to do the log drive
814
01:01:40,764 --> 01:01:42,192
on the Saint-Maurice River.
815
01:01:42,227 --> 01:01:44,029
He wasn't supposed to come back
before summer!
816
01:01:45,527 --> 01:01:48,902
Makes Édouard, the boy
from the village, came to see her,
817
01:01:48,937 --> 01:01:51,399
asked him,
and she answered yes.
818
01:01:51,434 --> 01:01:53,434
She told me:
“I like it too.”
819
01:01:57,374 --> 01:01:59,572
- All weddings
aren't like this one, Maria.
820
01:01:59,607 --> 01:02:01,574
(moo)
821
01:02:04,546 --> 01:02:06,018
- In any case...
822
01:02:06,053 --> 01:02:07,855
I hope we all will
be invited to the wedding!
823
01:02:07,890 --> 01:02:09,285
It would be nice,
to go, everyone.
824
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:10,286

830
01:03:00,943 --> 01:03:02,437

831
01:03:02,472 --> 01:03:03,911
Newspapers
that you asked for.
832
01:03:03,946 --> 01:03:05,638
I had kept them well
for you preciously.
833
01:03:07,213 --> 01:03:08,817
I calculated
that you will have the news
834
01:03:08,852 --> 01:03:09,851
a whole year in there!
835
01:03:09,886 --> 01:03:11,347
- Well, hurry up and read them
836
01:03:11,382 --> 01:03:13,151
because they are all leaving
in the walls of the house.
837
01:03:13,186 --> 01:03:14,119
- Nothing better to isolate yourself
838
01:03:14,154 --> 01:03:15,285

from all over the world.
839
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:16,253

I will die of sadness
if something bad happens to you.

01:05:02,229 --> 01:05:04,130

- Look at me.

that he stops swearing
and he stops drinking.

That he doesn't have too much

You must not have seen
no one either.

that you would come and watch.
1055
01:22:52,793 --> 01:22:54,793
- Of course, I wouldn't have
missed the New Year
1056
01:22:54,828 --> 01:22:56,828
without coming to see you.
1057
01:22:56,863 --> 01:22:58,863
But I didn't come to watch.
1058
01:22:58,898 --> 01:23:01,338
I rather had some news
that I wanted to repeat to you.
1059
01:23:03,210 --> 01:23:05,936
- To see your face, it seems that
This is bad news.
1060
01:23:05,971 --> 01:23:07,278
- Would it be the boys?
1061
01:23:07,313 --> 01:23:08,477
- No, Mrs. Chapdelaine.
1062
01:23:08,512 --> 01:23:10,479
Esdras and Da'Bé are fine
if God wants it.
1063
01:23:11,713 --> 01:23:14,153
The news doesn't come
from that side.
1064

He's not a relative of yours,

01:23:40,038 --> 01:23:41,972
he told his boss that he was going
come and spend the holiday season
1072
01:23:42,007 --> 01:23:43,017
at Lac-Saint-Jean here.
1073
01:23:44,614 --> 01:23:46,911
He said
that he had family.
1074
01:23:50,125 --> 01:23:53,390
The boss didn't want to,
but you know François.
1075
01:23:53,425 --> 01:23:54,589
A boy who is difficult to command,
1076
01:23:54,624 --> 01:23:56,690
when he had
one thing in mind...
1077
01:23:56,725 --> 01:23:59,528
that means the boss left him
do for fear of losing it.
1078
01:23:59,563 --> 01:24:01,530
François has “settled” his affairs
then he left.
1079
01:24:01,565 --> 01:24:03,169
The construction site was 2 days away
of the Transcontinental,
1080
01:24:03,204 --> 01:24:04,269
which descends on La Tuque.
1081
01:24:04,304 --> 01:24:06,073
But there was an accident
on thetrack.
1082
01:24:06,108 --> 01:24:07,338
The trains didn't pass.
1083
01:24:07,373 --> 01:24:08,933
- Oh yeah?
1084
01:24:08,968 --> 01:24:11,540
- When François knew that he
couldn't take the train,
1085
01:24:11,575 --> 01:24:12,904
he said to himself
that as long as we walk,
1086
01:24:12,939 --> 01:24:14,081
he would walk all the way
1087
01:24:14,116 --> 01:24:15,610
going down
the Croche river first
1088
01:24:15,645 --> 01:24:17,678
and the Ouiatchouane River,
which falls close to Roberval.
1089
01:24:17,713 --> 01:24:19,548
Everyone who was
there said to François
1090
01:24:19,583 --> 01:24:20,846
that it didn't make sense
1091
01:24:20,881 --> 01:24:22,551
to want to make this trip
in the middle of winter.
1092
01:24:22,586 --> 01:24:24,850
But he laughed at the others.
1093
01:24:24,885 --> 01:24:28,458
He said that where the savages
were passing, it would pass well.
1094
01:24:28,493 --> 01:24:31,197
François left on snowshoes,
1095
01:24:31,232 --> 01:24:34,464
with its covered and
provisions on a train...
1096
01:24:34,499 --> 01:24:36,026
- It can be done.
I passed there.
1097
01:24:36,061 --> 01:24:38,369
- Not in this season,
Mr. Chapdelaine.
1098
01:24:38,404 --> 01:24:40,470
He indulged
that during the storm,
1099
01:24:40,505 --> 01:24:41,933
Francis was
in severe burns,
1100
01:24:41,968 --> 01:24:43,374
where the snow powder
terribly.
1101
01:24:43,409 --> 01:24:44,705
In places like this,
1102
01:24:44,740 --> 01:24:46,476
even a capable man
doesn't have much chance.
1103
01:24:47,743 --> 01:24:49,809
- What happened,
Eutrope?
1104
01:24:52,748 --> 01:24:55,551
- Well, he moved away,
Ms. Chapdelaine.
1105
01:24:55,586 --> 01:24:56,981
- How can we know?
1106
01:24:57,016 --> 01:24:59,082
- The savages saw the shelter
that he had made himself
1107
01:24:59,117 --> 01:25:00,655
and then they saw his tracks.
1108
01:25:00,690 --> 01:25:02,987
They said they
were moving away from the river
1109
01:25:03,022 --> 01:25:05,099
which he had followed straight away...
towards the North.
1110
01:25:06,201 --> 01:25:07,629
It was 3 days ago.
1111
01:25:09,094 --> 01:25:10,434
But he got lost.
1112
01:25:21,007 --> 01:25:22,941
- And it shows that we are
little children
1113
01:25:22,976 --> 01:25:24,349
in the hand of the good Lord.
1114
01:25:24,384 --> 01:25:26,813
Francis was a
best men around here
1115
01:25:26,848 --> 01:25:29,189
to live in the woods
and find your way.
1116
01:25:29,224 --> 01:25:30,949
The strangers
always engaged him
1117
01:25:30,984 --> 01:25:33,083
and he brought them back
at home without problem.
1118
01:25:33,118 --> 01:25:35,294
He stepped aside.
1119
01:25:36,627 --> 01:25:38,891
It shows that we are
little children.
1120
01:25:41,467 --> 01:25:45,172
A good boy. Working.
I liked him.
1121
01:25:45,207 --> 01:25:46,767
It was difficult
not to love him.
1122
01:25:46,802 --> 01:25:48,142
- Poor boy.
1123
01:25:49,574 --> 01:25:52,036
- Everyone who knew him
had friendship for him.
1124
01:25:52,071 --> 01:25:54,742
- He hardly had any
of family.
1125
01:25:56,416 --> 01:25:57,712
We can pay
for a mass or two.
1126
01:25:59,144 --> 01:26:01,188
When the boys come back
see us in the spring.
1127
01:26:01,223 --> 01:26:02,717
Han, Laura?
- Hmm.
1128
01:26:11,728 --> 01:26:14,058
(fire crackling)
1129
01:26:19,241 --> 01:26:21,032
- Will you stay with the rest of us,
Eutrope?
1130
01:26:21,067 --> 01:26:22,902
- It's not a good day
to celebrate.
1131
01:26:24,906 --> 01:26:26,510
I'm going back home.
1132
01:26:29,911 --> 01:26:31,911
(fire crackling)
1133
01:26:31,946 --> 01:26:34,221
- I follow you.
1134
01:26:34,256 --> 01:26:36,685
I will take care of the animals.
1135
01:27:01,712 --> 01:27:03,041
(cackles)
1136
01:27:03,076 --> 01:27:05,648
(bleats)
1137
01:27:33,843 --> 01:27:36,173
(wind blowing)
1138
01:28:42,417 --> 01:28:44,516
(Maria cries)
1139
01:28:44,551 --> 01:28:46,617
Maria!
1140
01:28:46,652 --> 01:28:48,487
Maria!
1141
01:28:48,522 --> 01:28:51,820
(Maria cries)
1142
01:29:04,934 --> 01:29:07,902
(crying)
1143
01:29:18,519 --> 01:29:23,082
(crying)
1144
01:29:27,352 --> 01:29:29,352
- A mare
with red hair of 7 years,
1145
01:29:29,387 --> 01:29:30,991
a gray-haired horse
9 years old,
1146
01:29:31,026 --> 01:29:33,092
2 cows, 10 sheep,
2 2 year old heifers,
1147
01:29:33,127 --> 01:29:36,403
4 yearling heifers, one
sow from last spring,
1148
01:29:36,438 --> 01:29:38,768
6 chickens, a mill
to thresh the grain,
1149
01:29:38,803 --> 01:29:40,374
of which $66 still remains to be paid.
1150
01:29:41,608 --> 01:29:43,410
A cart, a big one
cart, a barlot,
1151
01:29:43,445 --> 01:29:45,874
3sleighs,2 chains to
log, a steel plow,
1152
01:29:45,909 --> 01:29:49,273
a harrow, a double stove, a
kitchen pan, 2 axes,
1153
01:29:49,308 --> 01:29:51,682
2 picks on the ground,
2 fakes with the sleeves...
1154
01:29:51,717 --> 01:29:53,948
4 sickles, a machine
wash, a canvas boat,
1155
01:29:53,983 --> 01:29:55,884
2 berths, 6 chairs,
1156
01:29:55,919 --> 01:29:58,590
2 boilers, one of which is iron
white, the other in zinc.
1157
01:29:58,625 --> 01:30:01,186
All the threshed grain
and not beaten,
1158
01:30:01,221 --> 01:30:02,693
all the straw
and the remaining hay.
1159
01:30:02,728 --> 01:30:04,629
However, the seller
has the right to take it
1160
01:30:04,664 --> 01:30:06,257
for food
animals now
1161
01:30:06,292 --> 01:30:08,358
by the end of next March.
1162
01:30:08,393 --> 01:30:11,031
He leaves 3 bushels of wheat
and 60 oats
1163
01:30:11,066 --> 01:30:13,737
to sow said lots
of earth next spring.
1164
01:30:15,103 --> 01:30:17,268
Gentlemen, sign here.
1165
01:30:37,829 --> 01:30:39,763
(snort)
1166
01:30:54,945 --> 01:30:56,175
- Your father is waiting for you.
1167
01:31:02,018 --> 01:31:04,084
Here, my list of commissions.
1168
01:31:04,119 --> 01:31:05,723
Be careful.
1169
01:31:24,040 --> 01:31:25,743
-Hush!
1170
01:32:10,449 --> 01:32:12,416
(barking)
1171
01:32:12,451 --> 01:32:15,089
♪ ♪ ♪
1172
01:33:02,908 --> 01:33:04,468
- Come here, you.
1173
01:33:08,815 --> 01:33:12,014
(clock bell)
1174
01:33:23,698 --> 01:33:25,797
So it seems
that you torment yourself
1175
01:33:25,832 --> 01:33:26,996
without common sense?
1176
01:33:29,429 --> 01:33:30,769
Sit there.
1177
01:33:36,139 --> 01:33:38,106
Your father told me.
1178
01:33:40,209 --> 01:33:42,781
That's it, it's very natural
to be sad
1179
01:33:42,816 --> 01:33:44,508
if there was friendship
between you,
1180
01:33:44,543 --> 01:33:46,279
but... you weren't engaged.
1181
01:33:46,314 --> 01:33:48,853
Since you didn't say anything
to your parents and him neither.
1182
01:33:50,692 --> 01:33:52,318
So, to be sorry too
1183
01:33:52,353 --> 01:33:55,123
and let yourself suffer because
of a boy who was nothing to you,
1184
01:33:55,158 --> 01:33:59,193
after all, it's not good,
it's not suitable...
1185
01:33:59,228 --> 01:34:01,866
Have masses said, pray
for him, that's correct.
1186
01:34:01,901 --> 01:34:03,802
You can't do better.
1187
01:34:03,837 --> 01:34:05,166
Three great masses
with vocals
1188
01:34:05,201 --> 01:34:06,805
and 3 others when the
boys will come back from the woods,
1189
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:07,971
like your father asked me.
1190
01:34:09,909 --> 01:34:12,008
He'll like it better
only lamentations.
1191
01:34:13,209 --> 01:34:14,945
It will reduce your time
of purgatory
1192
01:34:14,980 --> 01:34:16,441
because of the
way he died,
1193
01:34:16,476 --> 01:34:17,849
there is no way to know
1194
01:34:17,884 --> 01:34:19,477
if he had time to say
the act of contrition, hm.
1195
01:34:21,547 --> 01:34:23,019
But to upset you for no reason
1196
01:34:23,054 --> 01:34:24,724
and make a face to be discouraged
the whole house,
1197
01:34:24,759 --> 01:34:28,695
that doesn't make sense,
and the good Lord doesn't like that.
1198
01:34:28,730 --> 01:34:30,026
He knows
what is good for us.
1199
01:34:31,898 --> 01:34:34,734
We must not revolt
nor complain, Maria.
1200
01:34:36,331 --> 01:34:37,968
So you're going to stop
to torment you
1201
01:34:38,003 --> 01:34:40,366
because it's a torment
profane and not suitable,
1202
01:34:40,401 --> 01:34:42,005
seeing that you
you weren't promised anything...
1203
01:34:43,173 --> 01:34:44,744
That boy was nothing to you.
1204
01:34:48,673 --> 01:34:50,849
You have no intention
to enter into religion? No?
1205
01:34:53,381 --> 01:34:56,085
Your father told me
that a young man from the United States
1206
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,318
came back here to talk to you,
is that true?
1207
01:34:58,353 --> 01:34:59,418
- (whispering):
Yes.
1208
01:35:05,195 --> 01:35:08,031
- You will take the time
to listen to it?
1209
01:36:12,526 --> 01:36:15,428
(birds chirp)
1210
01:36:25,803 --> 01:36:27,473
- You can't imagine.
1211
01:36:27,508 --> 01:36:30,476
Just walking on the
sidewalks of major streets...
1212
01:36:30,511 --> 01:36:32,742
It's not small sidewalks
boards like in Roberval,
1213
01:36:32,777 --> 01:36:34,414
but beautiful sidewalks
asphalt.
1214
01:36:34,449 --> 01:36:38,286
Just walking around like this,
in the evening, with the lights,
1215
01:36:38,321 --> 01:36:41,091
electric tanks
who pass all the time,
1216
01:36:41,126 --> 01:36:42,587
the stores, the world,
1217
01:36:42,622 --> 01:36:44,688
well, you would see what
amaze you for weeks!
1218
01:36:44,723 --> 01:36:48,131
And worse, all the pleasures
that we can have!
1219
01:36:48,166 --> 01:36:50,628
The theater, the circuses,
gazettes with images,
1220
01:36:50,663 --> 01:36:52,267
the lively views...
1221
01:36:52,302 --> 01:36:53,664
In all the streets,
1222
01:36:53,699 --> 01:36:55,468
there are places where
you can get in for a nickel
1223
01:36:55,503 --> 01:36:57,338
then stay 2 hours
to laugh or cry...
1224
01:37:01,674 --> 01:37:03,982
- It seems to me
a very nice place, Lorenzo.
1225
01:37:06,052 --> 01:37:07,051
(sigh)
1226
01:37:14,357 --> 01:37:16,258
(bleats)
1227
01:37:27,403 --> 01:37:30,569
- Charles-Eugène... You speak
of a name for a horse...
1228
01:37:30,604 --> 01:37:32,241
(small laugh)
1229
01:37:32,276 --> 01:37:35,541
- My great-great-grandfather
had an argument
1230
01:37:35,576 --> 01:37:36,542
with one of his neighbors.
1231
01:37:36,577 --> 01:37:38,885
A dispute between families.
1232
01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:40,854
The neighbor
was called Charles-Eugène.
1233
01:37:42,616 --> 01:37:44,154
To take revenge,
1234
01:37:44,189 --> 01:37:46,189
my great-grandfather named
his horse the same.
1235
01:37:46,224 --> 01:37:47,685
He had to hate her to die.
1236
01:37:47,720 --> 01:37:50,160
He walked everywhere
shouting at his horse.
1237
01:37:50,195 --> 01:37:51,491
It gave him great pleasure
1238
01:37:51,526 --> 01:37:53,328
than to pass in front
neighbor's house
1239
01:37:53,363 --> 01:37:55,198
by insulting him and
ordering him to move forward.
1240
01:37:56,366 --> 01:37:57,530
Since then, it's been the same
1241
01:37:57,565 --> 01:37:59,235
for everyone
in the family.
1242
01:37:59,270 --> 01:38:01,468
We call our horses Charles-
Eugene... It's a tradition.
1243
01:38:02,768 --> 01:38:05,604
- More like a real one
curse... Poor man!
1244
01:38:07,047 --> 01:38:09,146
- The neighbor has since died
long time. It doesn't hurt.
1245
01:38:12,118 --> 01:38:13,810
(bleating in the distance)
1246
01:38:17,420 --> 01:38:19,057
- Listen...
1247
01:38:22,293 --> 01:38:24,128
The things I had,
1248
01:38:24,163 --> 01:38:26,262
I could have done them
by letter.
1249
01:38:26,297 --> 01:38:27,791
Selling my stuff,
1250
01:38:27,826 --> 01:38:29,661
it's the notary
who took care of it.
1251
01:38:32,831 --> 01:38:34,633
I came back for you, Maria.
1252
01:38:36,274 --> 01:38:38,142
Returned from Boston so far
1253
01:38:38,177 --> 01:38:40,771
to tell you
what I had to say,
1254
01:38:40,806 --> 01:38:42,245
and know your answer.
1255
01:38:44,414 --> 01:38:46,414
I was happy
that your parents accept
1256
01:38:46,449 --> 01:38:47,514
let me come and talk to you.
1257
01:38:49,089 --> 01:38:50,418
- I'm happy too.
1258
01:38:53,687 --> 01:38:56,292
- Here, it's not a place
for you, Maria.
1259
01:38:56,327 --> 01:38:58,459
There...
1260
01:38:58,494 --> 01:39:00,296
if you were my wife,
1261
01:39:00,331 --> 01:39:02,397
you wouldn't have
need to work.
1262
01:39:02,432 --> 01:39:04,927
In the “factries”,
I earn enough for two.
1263
01:39:04,962 --> 01:39:07,039
We would have a good life.
1264
01:39:08,438 --> 01:39:10,735
One day I will be able to buy
a brick house,
1265
01:39:10,770 --> 01:39:12,242
with gas, hot water,
1266
01:39:12,277 --> 01:39:14,145
all kinds of business
which you have no idea.
1267
01:39:16,314 --> 01:39:18,281
I don't know what to tell you anymore.
1268
01:39:18,316 --> 01:39:20,085
You have always lived
this way,
1269
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:22,021
you can't appear
how it is elsewhere.
1270
01:39:22,056 --> 01:39:23,748
I am not capable
to make you understand
1271
01:39:23,783 --> 01:39:24,958
just by talking.
1272
01:39:30,394 --> 01:39:33,824
If you would like to marry me
as I ask you...
1273

Well, I'm going to take you to
very beautiful places,

not quite like here...
1275
01:39:43,737 --> 01:39:45,968
- Yes, but...
1276
01:39:46,003 --> 01:39:48,146
I need time to
make my decision, Lorenzo.
1277
01:39:50,876 --> 01:39:52,678
- You don't need
to say yes straight away.
1278
01:39:52,713 --> 01:39:54,152
It hasn't been long
that we know each other.

- It was honest.
1314
01:43:57,727 --> 01:44:01,091
- Because you are educated,
you and your boys?
1315
01:44:01,126 --> 01:44:02,862
- And we know
not read or write.
1316

- No. Not quite.
1331
01:44:34,599 --> 01:44:36,401
- Ah... It's hard here.
1332
01:44:36,436 --> 01:44:37,633
It's... It's hard.
1333
01:44:37,668 --> 01:44:38,733
- It's a bit forceful
at the beginning
1334
01:44:38,768 --> 01:44:40,130
when we are not used to it.
1335
01:44:40,165 --> 01:44:41,901
But when your land

1336
01:44:41,936 --> 01:44:43,309
you will be happy,
you will see.
1337
01:44:43,344 --> 01:44:44,640
- Here are three
who come from far away
1338
01:44:44,675 --> 01:44:46,840
to settle here
and cultivate.
1339
01:44:46,875 --> 01:44:48,677
But I am
always there to tell me
1340
01:44:48,712 --> 01:44:50,745
that there must be nothing
more pleasant
1341
01:44:50,780 --> 01:44:54,452
than sitting quietly
in an office all day,
1342
01:44:54,487 --> 01:44:58,786
the pen to the ear, sheltered
cold and harsh sun!
1343
01:44:58,821 --> 01:45:01,019
- Everyone has their own idea.
1344
01:45:01,054 --> 01:45:03,120
- You, your idea, it wasn't
to stay in Honfleur
1345
01:45:03,155 --> 01:45:05,254
to sweat on the stumps, han?
1346
01:45:05,289 --> 01:45:07,366
- It's true.
1347
01:45:07,401 --> 01:45:08,631
I don't hide it.
1348
01:45:09,799 --> 01:45:10,963
It wouldn't have appealed to me.
1349
01:45:12,164 --> 01:45:13,702
These men
bought my land.
1350
01:45:13,737 --> 01:45:14,934
It's a good land,
1351
01:45:14,969 --> 01:45:16,837
there is no one who can
nothing to say against that.
1352
01:45:16,872 --> 01:45:18,872
But for me,
I feel good where I am.
1353
01:45:20,238 --> 01:45:22,205
Because, no, over there,
there are none, any stumps.
1354
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:24,350
The roads are beautiful
and very straight.
1355
01:45:24,385 --> 01:45:26,143
And we are seeing progress.
1356
01:45:26,178 --> 01:45:28,651
- Progress may be made
many beautiful straight roads,
1357
01:45:28,686 --> 01:45:29,883
but sheltered from progress,
1358
01:45:29,918 --> 01:45:31,390
the winding roads
are those of Genius!
1359
01:45:31,425 --> 01:45:33,854
- Progress is not the same
for everyone.
1360
01:45:33,889 --> 01:45:35,493
- You must have chosen it!
- Um, um.
1361
01:45:35,528 --> 01:45:36,956
- I think
that there is nothing better
1362
01:45:36,991 --> 01:45:38,188
than to stay on land
1363
01:45:38,223 --> 01:45:40,399
when you are healthy
and no debts.
1364
01:45:40,434 --> 01:45:42,896
We don't have a boss,
we have our animals.
1365
01:45:42,931 --> 01:45:44,964
And when we work,
it’s profit for oneself.
1366
01:45:44,999 --> 01:45:46,229
And that’s beautiful!
1367
01:45:47,408 --> 01:45:49,375
- I hear them all say that!
1368
01:45:49,410 --> 01:45:52,037
“We are free!
We are his master!”
1369
01:45:52,072 --> 01:45:53,544
And you seem
to take pity
1370
01:45:53,579 --> 01:45:55,304
those who work
in factories
1371
01:45:55,339 --> 01:45:57,207
because they have a boss
who must be obeyed.
1372
01:45:57,242 --> 01:46:00,078
Free on earth?
So let's see...
1373
01:46:01,752 --> 01:46:03,048
There is no man
in the world
1374
01:46:03,083 --> 01:46:04,918
who is less free
than a resident.
1375
01:46:06,383 --> 01:46:08,592
The truth is that these are
your animals that own you.
1376
01:46:08,627 --> 01:46:12,189
- Ah... There is no worse boss
than a favorite animal.
1377
01:46:12,224 --> 01:46:14,125
- That's how it is,
there's no way that's going to change.
1378
01:46:15,293 --> 01:46:17,095
Even if we could...
1379
01:46:17,130 --> 01:46:19,669
you would still have
other masters.
1380
01:46:19,704 --> 01:46:22,067
Summer that starts too late
and which ends too soon,
1381
01:46:22,102 --> 01:46:24,366
winter that eats 7 months
of the year without profit,
1382
01:46:24,401 --> 01:46:26,445
drought, rain...
1383
01:46:26,480 --> 01:46:28,744
In the cities, we make fun
of these things.
1384
01:46:30,814 --> 01:46:34,178
It is often said that
to succeed on earth
1385
01:46:34,213 --> 01:46:36,180
there are only those who were born
1386
01:46:36,215 --> 01:46:38,116
and who were raised
on earth...
1387
01:46:38,151 --> 01:46:40,349
- Of course.
1388
01:46:40,384 --> 01:46:41,955
The others, those
who lived in the cities,
1389
01:46:41,990 --> 01:46:43,726
there is no danger
that they are quite simple
1390
01:46:43,761 --> 01:46:45,024
to be satisfied
of a life of the same!
1391
01:46:45,059 --> 01:46:46,432
- Don't say that.
1392
01:46:47,600 --> 01:46:48,962
There is no more beautiful life
1393
01:46:48,997 --> 01:46:51,294
than that of a resident
who has good land.
1394
01:46:51,329 --> 01:46:53,439
- Not in this country,
Ms. Chapdelaine.
1395
01:46:53,474 --> 01:46:55,441
You're too far north.
1396
01:46:55,476 --> 01:46:57,641
Winter is too hard,
summer is too short!
1397
01:46:57,676 --> 01:46:58,741
- Han...
1398
01:46:58,776 --> 01:47:00,303
- I'm wondering
1399
01:47:00,338 --> 01:47:02,206
how come everyone
the people here haven't left
1400
01:47:02,241 --> 01:47:04,307
long time to go
in less harsh places.
1401
01:47:05,618 --> 01:47:07,783
Where we can go out in winter,
go for a walk...
1402
01:47:07,818 --> 01:47:09,653
without being afraid of dying.
1403
01:47:09,688 --> 01:47:10,852
- Um...
1404
01:47:12,317 --> 01:47:14,955
- 20 years ago,
everyone knows it here,
1405
01:47:14,990 --> 01:47:17,056
in Honfleur,
there was almost nothing!
1406
01:47:17,091 --> 01:47:19,960
In another 20 years,
we don't know.

1408
01:47:21,293 --> 01:47:23,095

as big as Quebec.
1409
01:47:23,130 --> 01:47:25,669

even as big as Boston!
1410
01:47:25,704 --> 01:47:27,671
Well yes!
1411
01:47:27,706 --> 01:47:30,300
But for that,
the world must stay!
1412
01:47:30,335 --> 01:47:31,840

you, Mr. Surprising?
1414
01:47:36,517 --> 01:47:38,748
You would have lived
in a big city, you?
1415
01:47:38,783 --> 01:47:42,081
- Even in the most beautiful city
from all over the world...
1416
01:47:42,116 --> 01:47:44,754
you're still in place
the most remote in the world
1417
01:47:44,789 --> 01:47:46,921
when you lived
too long like me!

Hello, Tit'Bé.
1446
01:50:43,528 --> 01:50:45,132
I came to see Maria.
1447
01:50:46,839 --> 01:50:47,904
- She's in the house.
1448
01:50:49,138 --> 01:50:51,138
Your parents told me
that I had the right
1449
01:50:51,173 --> 01:50:53,679
to come see you during
their trip to Saint-Henri.
1450
01:50:53,714 --> 01:50:56,275
- Yes, it always makes me
pleasure to see you, Eutrope.
1451
01:50:56,310 --> 01:50:57,540
(sigh)
1452
01:51:00,578 --> 01:51:02,655
- You know well that I have
friendship for you, Maria.
1453
01:51:04,252 --> 01:51:05,823
I didn't have any for you
spoken again,
1454
01:51:05,858 --> 01:51:08,485
firstly, because my land
was not advanced enough...
1455
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,059
And afterward,
because I guessed
1456
01:51:11,094 --> 01:51:13,831
that it’s François Paradis
that you like best...
1457
01:51:14,999 --> 01:51:16,526
But since he is dead,
1458
01:51:16,561 --> 01:51:18,770
I told myself that I too
I could try my luck.
1459
01:51:24,173 --> 01:51:25,403
I'm not rich, of course,
1460
01:51:25,438 --> 01:51:27,207
but I have 2 lots of my own,
all paid!
1461
01:51:27,242 --> 01:51:28,912
And you know that
it's good soil.
1462
01:51:28,947 --> 01:51:30,672
I will work on it
all spring,
1463
01:51:30,707 --> 01:51:32,641
and when May arrives,
I'm going to have a lot to sow.
1464
01:51:32,676 --> 01:51:34,676
I'm going to sow 130 bushels, Maria.
1465
01:51:34,711 --> 01:51:36,546
130 bushels of wheat,
barley and oats,
1466
01:51:36,581 --> 01:51:38,988
and an acre of "gaudriole"
for animals.
1467
01:51:39,023 --> 01:51:40,825
And all that grain,
beautiful grain of seed,
1468
01:51:40,860 --> 01:51:42,354
I'm going to buy it in Roberval
1469
01:51:42,389 --> 01:51:44,191
and I'm going to paycash
on the counter, likewise...
1470
01:51:44,226 --> 01:51:45,896
(small laugh)
1471
01:51:45,931 --> 01:51:48,195
But I already have the money saved
all ready, I will pay cash,
1472
01:51:48,230 --> 01:51:50,494
without a penny
of debt to anyone.
1473
01:51:50,529 --> 01:51:53,200
And during the summer,
between the hay and the harvest,
1474
01:51:53,235 --> 01:51:55,367
it would be time to raise a
beautiful warm and solid house,
1475
01:51:55,402 --> 01:51:56,940
all in red spruce.
1476
01:51:56,975 --> 01:51:59,910
I already have the wood cut,
all ready, behind my barn!
1477
01:51:59,945 --> 01:52:01,538
My brother will help me...
1478
01:52:01,573 --> 01:52:04,046
well, maybe even Ezra and
Da'Bé when they come back.
1479
01:52:05,742 --> 01:52:08,281
The following winter, I'm going to go up
to construction sites with a horse
1480
01:52:08,316 --> 01:52:09,755
and I'm going to come back in the spring
1481
01:52:09,790 --> 01:52:11,317
with $200
in my pockets, clear.
1482
01:52:15,224 --> 01:52:17,455
And it would be time...
at that time,...
1483
01:52:21,901 --> 01:52:24,033
I know that it would be necessary
work hard to start,
1484
01:52:24,068 --> 01:52:25,969
but you are valiant, Maria,
1485
01:52:26,004 --> 01:52:27,663
and accustomed to the work,
and me too.
1486
01:52:30,602 --> 01:52:31,942
I have always worked hard,
1487
01:52:31,977 --> 01:52:33,438
no one could ever say
that I was a coward.
1488
01:52:36,982 --> 01:52:39,741
So... if you want
marry well...
1489
01:52:39,776 --> 01:52:41,479
I would love you...
1490
01:52:43,021 --> 01:52:45,615
The friendship I have for you,
that can't be said, Maria.
1491

(not close)
1492
01:52:51,260 --> 01:52:53,656
- Go back to your sister,
Telesphore. I'm coming.
1493
01:53:00,940 --> 01:53:02,841
- Ah! you are very free,
as is right.
1494
01:53:05,307 --> 01:53:06,669
But you would be happy
1495
01:53:06,704 --> 01:53:09,375
to be the woman
that you are with me, Maria.
1496
01:53:15,955 --> 01:53:17,449
- I'm sorry, Eutrope.
1497
01:53:19,959 --> 01:53:21,321
I didn't promise anything to anyone,
1498
01:53:21,356 --> 01:53:22,718
but Lorenzo
already came to see me.
1499
01:53:24,821 --> 01:53:26,524
He spoke to me.
1500
01:53:28,825 --> 01:53:30,396
He asked me,
Eutrope.
1501
01:53:35,139 --> 01:53:37,073
- Ah, I... I understand you.
1502
01:53:38,307 --> 01:53:40,208
And I have nothing to say against him.

Hello, Tit'Bé.
1507
01:54:14,673 --> 01:54:15,881
- Hello, Eutrope.
1508
01:54:54,955 --> 01:54:56,581
- It hasn't progressed much
since yesterday.
1509
01:54:58,222 --> 01:55:00,882
It looks like you're weaving
backwards, my daughter.
1510
01:55:00,917 --> 01:55:02,752
You will never end
at that pace.
1511
01:55:02,787 --> 01:55:05,095
- I had to start again
what I had done.
1512
01:55:07,231 --> 01:55:09,297
- I wanted you to go
get me a pocket of flowers,
1513
01:55:09,332 --> 01:55:10,595
but I'll go there myself.
1514

today.

Can you ask Maria
to take care of supper?
1548
01:59:24,356 --> 01:59:26,455
- Don't worry,
there is almost nothing to do
1549

in the house
apart from the ordinary.
1550
01:59:28,019 --> 01:59:29,227
And for that,
Maria is quite capable.
1551
01:59:29,262 --> 01:59:31,053
And for the rest too,
baptism...
1552
01:59:31,088 --> 01:59:32,857
She is as capable
than you.
1553

1589

(door closing)
1590
02:03:39,006 --> 02:03:40,577
Thank you, Tit’Bé.
1591
02:03:40,612 --> 02:03:43,107
- His father must be nearby
of Saint-Coeur-de-Marie.
1592
02:03:43,142 --> 02:03:44,273
- If the doctor is there,
1593
02:03:44,308 --> 02:03:45,813
they will have to
let the horse rest
1594
02:03:45,848 --> 02:03:47,012
a couple of hours
before leaving.

(sigh)
1600
02:04:51,342 --> 02:04:52,748
- Yeah...
1601
02:04:54,686 --> 02:04:56,180
With paths of the same,
1602
02:04:56,215 --> 02:04:59,051
it's not just a small matter
to come see our patients.
1603
02:05:10,427 --> 02:05:12,328
(sniffle)
1604
02:05:15,168 --> 02:05:16,541

(sigh)
1608
02:05:37,553 --> 02:05:39,696
And, you...
1609
02:05:39,731 --> 02:05:42,765
you came to hide
in the woods, apparently.
1610
02:05:42,800 --> 02:05:44,162
(sniffle)
1611
02:05:44,197 --> 02:05:46,098
The furthest
that you could.

02:05:47,805 --> 02:05:49,640
(sigh)
1614
02:05:52,040 --> 02:05:54,612
You might all die
without...
1615
02:05:56,044 --> 02:05:58,044
no one comes to help you.
1616
02:05:59,377 --> 02:06:01,619

1617
02:06:03,381 --> 02:06:06,217
(moans)
1618
02:06:15,591 --> 02:06:17,294
Good.
1619
02:06:17,329 --> 02:06:19,296
Like this, we put ourselves
to be sick,
1620
02:06:19,331 --> 02:06:21,133
like people
who have the means?
1621
02:06:26,470 --> 02:06:27,876
(door opening)
1622
02:06:27,911 --> 02:06:29,405
(door closing)
1623
02:06:34,687 --> 02:06:37,655
Yeah, you're sick
for good, I create well.
1624
02:06:37,690 --> 02:06:38,986
(moaning)
1625
02:06:39,021 --> 02:06:40,152
Yeah.
1626
02:06:40,187 --> 02:06:41,252
(inspiration)
1627
02:06:42,695 --> 02:06:44,453
Can you tell me
how did it start?
1628
02:06:44,488 --> 02:06:45,927
- She told me
that she hurt herself
1629
02:06:45,962 --> 02:06:47,423
by lifting
a flower pocket.
1630
02:06:48,668 --> 02:06:50,294
- Oh...
1631
02:06:50,329 --> 02:06:52,461
And you have already had
this evil before?
1632
02:06:53,530 --> 02:06:55,068
- No.
1633
02:06:55,103 --> 02:06:57,433
- But you are in pain
where exactly, Ms. Chapdelaine?
1634
02:06:59,107 --> 02:07:01,008
- My stomach.
1635
02:07:02,539 --> 02:07:04,143
I can't get up.
1636
02:07:05,344 --> 02:07:06,475
My head is burning.
1637
02:07:17,290 --> 02:07:19,290
- Listen.
1638
02:07:19,325 --> 02:07:21,699
If it's just an effort
that you gave yourself,
1639
02:07:21,734 --> 02:07:23,030
you will heal on your own.
1640
02:07:23,065 --> 02:07:24,592
You must stay
in bed without moving.
1641
02:07:24,627 --> 02:07:26,594
But...
1642
02:07:26,629 --> 02:07:28,596
if it is a lesion
in the middle of the body,
1643
02:07:28,631 --> 02:07:30,103
it can be naughtier.
1644
02:07:30,138 --> 02:07:32,204
Diseases likewise,
when we don't know,
1645
02:07:32,239 --> 02:07:34,140
it could be worse
only serious matters.
1646
02:07:35,374 --> 02:07:37,715
We can't know
because we see nothing.
1647
02:07:37,750 --> 02:07:39,277
But...
1648
02:07:39,312 --> 02:07:40,542
it could be something else.
1649
02:07:40,577 --> 02:07:41,884
(moaning)
1650
02:07:41,919 --> 02:07:43,215
(sigh)
1651
02:07:43,250 --> 02:07:45,613
The greatest scholar
the world could not
1652
02:07:45,648 --> 02:07:48,286
tell you more than me,
you have to wait.
1653
02:07:48,321 --> 02:07:49,826
I can always
give you something
1654
02:07:49,861 --> 02:07:51,553
to prevent you from being in pain.
1655
02:07:51,588 --> 02:07:54,523
That will already be it.
It'll make you sleep.
1656
02:07:55,768 --> 02:07:58,967
Well... I have another world
to go see.
1657
02:07:59,002 --> 02:08:00,870
I'm going to go to bed
in Péribonka.
1658
02:08:00,905 --> 02:08:03,235
Your horse is good
to bring me there?
1659
02:08:03,270 --> 02:08:05,402
You don't need to come,
I know the way.
1660
02:08:05,437 --> 02:08:07,745
I'm going to spend the night
at Napoleon Bérubé,
1661
02:08:07,780 --> 02:08:09,373
well I will come back
tomorrow afternoon.
1662
02:08:10,750 --> 02:08:12,508
- But the horse
must be tired.
1663
02:08:15,678 --> 02:08:17,018
- That's okay.
1664
02:08:17,053 --> 02:08:18,723
- Dad...
- It's okay, I said.
1665
02:08:20,617 --> 02:08:21,759
- Hmm.
1666
02:08:27,965 --> 02:08:29,228
- See you tomorrow.
1667
02:08:30,561 --> 02:08:31,560

1668
02:08:31,595 --> 02:08:33,232

(birds chirp)
1670
02:08:48,051 --> 02:08:50,513
- What are we going to do,
the rest of us, what if we need it?
1671
02:08:50,548 --> 02:08:52,053
- We're going to stay here
with your mother.
1672
02:08:52,088 --> 02:08:53,417
We won't need it.
1673
02:09:06,938 --> 02:09:10,038
(birds chirp)
1674
02:09:10,073 --> 02:09:11,908
- I would have liked to find her
completely healed
1675
02:09:11,943 --> 02:09:12,810
upon arriving here.
1676
02:09:15,012 --> 02:09:17,012
(fire crackling)
1677
02:09:19,082 --> 02:09:21,247
- Looks like the cure
had its effect.
1678
02:09:23,922 --> 02:09:25,680
It's been at least 3 hours
that she is sleeping.
1679
02:09:30,093 --> 02:09:31,763
It's nice of you to come
see us, Eutrope.
1680
02:09:33,965 --> 02:09:36,031
- I thought the doctor...
- This doctor is good for nothing!
1681
02:09:38,794 --> 02:09:40,398
I'm going to tell him, moé!
1682
02:09:40,433 --> 02:09:42,400
He came here, he gave her
given a little remedy for nothing
1683
02:09:42,435 --> 02:09:43,467
in the bottom of a cup
1684
02:09:43,502 --> 02:09:45,139
then went away
sleep in the village,
1685
02:09:45,174 --> 02:09:46,602
as if he had
earned his money!
1686
02:09:48,441 --> 02:09:50,012
Damn old man...
1687
02:09:52,984 --> 02:09:54,819
But he won't have
a penny of moé!
1688
02:09:56,889 --> 02:09:59,153
Not a penny!
1689
02:10:02,895 --> 02:10:04,059
(Laura moans)
1690
02:10:06,657 --> 02:10:08,525
-Samuel...
1691
02:10:30,054 --> 02:10:32,450
(difficult breathing)
1692
02:10:32,485 --> 02:10:34,452
I'm in too much pain, Samuel.
1693
02:10:34,487 --> 02:10:36,289
(crying)
1694
02:10:36,324 --> 02:10:38,357
It looks like I'm going to die.
1695
02:10:39,690 --> 02:10:41,492
- Don't worry
ideas of the same.
1696
02:10:44,827 --> 02:10:47,498
You will die when the good Lord
will want you to die.
1697
02:10:47,533 --> 02:10:50,039
And, I think it's not
for now.
1698
02:10:54,408 --> 02:10:56,881
Hmm? What would he do
of you, the good Lord?
1699
02:10:59,083 --> 02:11:01,017
Heaven is full
old women.
1700
02:11:02,581 --> 02:11:04,218
And here, we only have one.
1701
02:11:06,189 --> 02:11:07,320
(crying)
1702
02:11:07,355 --> 02:11:09,322
And she can still
do us a service.
1703
02:11:09,357 --> 02:11:10,785
(crying)
1704
02:11:18,102 --> 02:11:19,904

don't know what to do.
1705
02:11:19,939 --> 02:11:22,071
(difficult breathing)
1706
02:11:22,106 --> 02:11:24,106
He can't even tell me
what evil it is.
1707
02:11:28,706 --> 02:11:30,277
I'm going to die, I tell you.
1708

(crying)
1709
02:11:44,062 --> 02:11:46,260
Go get the priest
of Saint-Henri.
1710
02:11:47,725 --> 02:11:48,823
Please.
1711
02:11:54,006 --> 02:11:55,302
Samuel...
1712

(Laura crying)
1713
02:12:03,444 --> 02:12:04,916
- That's not possible, there.
1714
02:12:17,095 --> 02:12:19,326
- I'm going to go there,
Mr. Chapdelaine.
1715
02:12:19,361 --> 02:12:22,230
- Doctor left
with the horse, Eutrope.
1716
02:12:22,265 --> 02:12:24,166
- Well, I'm going to go, same thing.
1717
02:12:27,468 --> 02:12:29,435
- It's too far.
1718
02:12:29,470 --> 02:12:31,140
- I'm going to cut into the wood.
1719
02:12:31,175 --> 02:12:32,900
I'm going to run
to Honfleur this night,
1720
02:12:32,935 --> 02:12:34,341
and then, until
Saint-Henri-de-Taillon.
1721
02:12:34,376 --> 02:12:36,145
There,
I will find someone
1722
02:12:36,180 --> 02:12:38,180
to lend me a horse
and a sled.
1723
02:12:38,215 --> 02:12:40,017
I'll be back
tomorrow not too late,
1724

Mr. Chapdelaine.

All pale.
1774
02:19:28,856 --> 02:19:31,219

You were good
rigged with women, Samuel.
1779
02:20:06,223 --> 02:20:07,728
Throughout the parish,
1780
02:20:07,763 --> 02:20:09,895
there was not a woman
more capable, more valiant
1781
02:20:09,930 --> 02:20:11,402
and more dedicated than her.
1782
02:20:13,164 --> 02:20:16,770
At the same time...
a woman of heart...
1783
02:20:16,805 --> 02:20:18,937
a leading woman.
1784
02:20:21,172 --> 02:20:25,240
Welcoming with that,
with a beautiful way.
1785
02:20:29,246 --> 02:20:32,489
In all the old
parishes and even towns,
1786
02:20:32,524 --> 02:20:35,151
we wouldn't have found any
a lot like her.
1787
02:20:38,497 --> 02:20:42,059
Your wife, Samuel, was...
1788
02:20:42,094 --> 02:20:44,193
kindness.
1789
02:20:45,867 --> 02:20:46,998
Goodness itself.
1790
02:20:53,204 --> 02:20:55,270
- Ephrem Surprising
tells the truth.
1791
02:20:58,616 --> 02:21:00,143
Your mother,
she was a good woman.
1792
02:21:02,180 --> 02:21:03,652
Courageous.
1793
02:21:05,887 --> 02:21:08,019
She was, courageous,
as long as she lived.
1794
02:21:12,795 --> 02:21:15,796
I remember when we
took our first land
1795
02:21:15,831 --> 02:21:18,326
in Normandin, we did not have
lots of grazing.
1796
02:21:20,297 --> 02:21:22,836
Because almost all of this lot
was still standing,
1797
02:21:22,871 --> 02:21:23,969
still difficult to do.
1798
02:21:27,678 --> 02:21:29,139
I took my axe.
1799
02:21:29,174 --> 02:21:31,482
And I told him: “I’m going to
make dirt, Laura!”
1800
02:21:33,475 --> 02:21:35,882
And from morning to evening, it was
log, worse log...
1801
02:21:35,917 --> 02:21:38,280
without ever coming home,
only for dinner.
1802
02:21:38,315 --> 02:21:39,655
(inspiration)
1803
02:21:39,690 --> 02:21:41,525
And all this time,
she did the ordinary.
1804
02:21:42,891 --> 02:21:44,594
She took care of the animals...
1805
02:21:45,828 --> 02:21:48,026
she put the
fences in order...
1806
02:21:48,061 --> 02:21:49,599
carried rock.
1807
02:21:50,767 --> 02:21:52,734
Toiling without stopping.
1808
02:21:56,740 --> 02:21:58,399
I told him
to let it happen.
1809
02:21:58,434 --> 02:22:00,643
But every time,
she shouted to me:
1810
02:22:00,678 --> 02:22:02,304
“Don’t worry about that, toé.”
1811
02:22:02,339 --> 02:22:05,373
“Don’t worry about anything...
Make me some earth.”
1812
02:22:07,509 --> 02:22:08,915
She laughed to encourage me,
1813
02:22:08,950 --> 02:22:11,181
but I saw clearly
that she had had misery,
1814
02:22:11,216 --> 02:22:13,722
And all under his eyes
was black with fatigue.
1815
02:22:17,893 --> 02:22:20,993
3 or 4 times a day,
she was going out in front of the door.
1816
02:22:21,028 --> 02:22:24,865
She stood there for a moment
look at the edge of the wood,
1817
02:22:24,900 --> 02:22:27,428
where I did all I could
forces on spruce trees
1818
02:22:27,463 --> 02:22:29,540
udder on the birches
to make land for him.
1819
02:22:33,370 --> 02:22:35,271
In Normandin, in Mistassini,
1820
02:22:35,306 --> 02:22:37,273
and all the other places
where we went.
1821
02:22:38,914 --> 02:22:40,342
Always worked hard.
1822
02:22:40,377 --> 02:22:43,378
By telling myself every time
that one day would come
1823
02:22:43,413 --> 02:22:45,589
where we would have a beautiful land.
1824
02:22:46,922 --> 02:22:49,021
And where your mother could live
1825
02:22:49,056 --> 02:22:51,122
like women
old parishes.
1826
02:22:51,157 --> 02:22:53,960
With beautiful fields,
bare as a hand
1827
02:22:53,995 --> 02:22:56,897
from both sides of the house
until loss of sight.
1828
02:22:59,495 --> 02:23:03,640
So she died in a
similarly half-wild place.
1829
02:23:05,171 --> 02:23:07,105
Far from other houses
and churches,
1830
02:23:07,140 --> 02:23:08,975
and so close to the woods.
1831
02:23:12,981 --> 02:23:15,476
It's my fault if she's
died in a similar place.
1832
02:23:15,511 --> 02:23:17,313
And it's my fault, for sure.
1833
02:23:20,989 --> 02:23:23,121
(sigh)
1834
02:23:25,763 --> 02:23:27,356
Several times...
1835
02:23:29,624 --> 02:23:32,394
when we had passed
5 or 6 years in a place,
1836
02:23:32,429 --> 02:23:33,835
and it had worked,
1837
02:23:33,870 --> 02:23:37,267
he came from the world which
was established around us.
1838
02:23:39,678 --> 02:23:41,810
There was just
to wait a little
1839
02:23:41,845 --> 02:23:43,680
working quietly
1840
02:23:43,715 --> 02:23:45,979
and we would have been in the middle
of a beautiful parish
1841
02:23:46,014 --> 02:23:48,652
where Laura could have done
a happy reign.
1842
02:23:53,054 --> 02:23:56,825
And suddenly,
my heart failed me.
1843
02:23:58,730 --> 02:24:03,392
I felt tired of
the work, tired of the country.
1844
02:24:04,835 --> 02:24:06,461
I started to hate the faces
1845
02:24:06,496 --> 02:24:08,595
people who took prizes
in the neighborhood
1846
02:24:08,630 --> 02:24:09,904
and who came to see us.
1847
02:24:11,237 --> 02:24:13,369
I heard that further
towards the top of the lake,
1848
02:24:13,404 --> 02:24:16,845
in the woods, there was
good soil.
1849
02:24:20,378 --> 02:24:23,478
And now this place
that I heard about,
1850
02:24:23,513 --> 02:24:26,283
that I had never seen...
1851
02:24:26,318 --> 02:24:29,022
and where there was
no one yet...
1852
02:24:29,057 --> 02:24:31,189
I was getting hungry
and thirst for her
1853
02:24:31,224 --> 02:24:32,927
as if it were the place
where I was born.
1854
02:24:36,427 --> 02:24:38,064
In those times...
1855
02:24:38,099 --> 02:24:41,331
when the work
the day was over,
1856
02:24:41,366 --> 02:24:44,741
instead of... to stay
near the stove and smoking,
1857
02:24:44,776 --> 02:24:47,502
I was going to sit on the porch
1858
02:24:47,537 --> 02:24:49,372
and I stayed there
without swarming.
1859
02:24:51,783 --> 02:24:55,543
Like a man who
homesick and bored.
1860
02:24:57,954 --> 02:25:00,119
And everything I saw there,
before my eyes...
1861
02:25:01,793 --> 02:25:05,355
the good that I had done
myself, with pain and misery.
1862
02:25:06,765 --> 02:25:10,657
The fields, the fences
and the notch which blocked the view.
1863
02:25:10,692 --> 02:25:14,628
I hated this good
to lose your mind.
1864
02:25:19,778 --> 02:25:24,440
Your mother, she came by-
behind without making any noise.
1865
02:25:27,148 --> 02:25:29,544
And she looked
also our good.
1866
02:25:31,823 --> 02:25:34,120
And I knew it, that
in the depths of his heart,
1867
02:25:34,155 --> 02:25:36,584
she was happy, because
that it was starting to look like
1868
02:25:36,619 --> 02:25:38,685
to old parishes
where she was raised
1869
02:25:38,720 --> 02:25:40,456
well where where
she would have liked to spend her life.
1870
02:25:46,068 --> 02:25:48,002
Instead of treating me
crazy old man...
1871
02:25:49,632 --> 02:25:50,807
because
I wanted to go away,
1872
02:25:50,842 --> 02:25:52,633
like good
women would have done...
1873
02:25:54,604 --> 02:25:57,814
she just made you sigh
a little while thinking about misery
1874
02:25:57,849 --> 02:26:00,014
who was going to take over
elsewhere in the woods.
1875
02:26:04,020 --> 02:26:05,822
And she told me like that...
1876
02:26:07,925 --> 02:26:12,125
"Well, Samuel, if you count
move again soon..."
1877
02:26:57,238 --> 02:26:59,205
(birds chirp)
1878
02:27:13,155 --> 02:27:14,616
- Oh...
1879
02:27:14,651 --> 02:27:15,892
I forgot.
1880
02:27:17,060 --> 02:27:18,356
I have a letter
for you, Maria.
1881
02:27:19,557 --> 02:27:21,898
From
of my great-nephew Lorenzo.
1882
02:27:23,363 --> 02:27:25,869
Obviously he doesn't know yet
for your mother.
1883
02:27:27,367 --> 02:27:29,301
But hope to see you again soon.
1884
02:27:29,336 --> 02:27:31,105
That's for sure.
1885
02:27:32,768 --> 02:27:35,076
(deep breath)
1886
02:27:35,111 --> 02:27:36,407
It's mild.
1887
02:27:37,773 --> 02:27:39,179
Everyone says
1888

1902
02:30:38,624 --> 02:30:40,723
- Mr. Chapdelaine, I am ready
once again
1903
02:30:40,758 --> 02:30:42,362
to work for you this summer.
1904
02:30:44,234 --> 02:30:46,025
- $5 per week.
1905
02:30:46,060 --> 02:30:47,400
Housed and fed.
1906
02:30:49,767 --> 02:30:51,800
- Show me the standing wood,
Let me put him to bed!
1907

- Do you still think
to go away, Maria?
1920
02:32:23,498 --> 02:32:26,334
I know it's not
time to talk about that,
1921
02:32:26,369 --> 02:32:27,632
but if you could tell me
1922
02:32:27,667 --> 02:32:29,304

for later,
1923
