Original French version with English subtitles.

Maxime, a young man from Val d’Or, works at a gold mine. As he struggles with the problems in his life, he begins questioning his definition of masculinity. Through the close-knit brotherhood of his fellow miners, he finds the support he needs to overcome the lingering guilt that prevents him from being happy. Then one day, an underground explosion shakes the mine. As part of the rescue team, Maxime descends into the depths, fully determined to bring every one of his surviving co-workers back to the surface alive.

"Sophie Dupuis proves, with her second film, that she is here to stay! Her directing talent is unparalleled. The expression "directing with an iron fist in a velvet glove" takes on its full meaning here. A cast has rarely been so impeccable, each actor carrying the script at arm's length. This film about "guys" is very sensitive; you will be moved by these tough guys with tender hearts who, deep in their mines, try to love and understand each other, and especially to help each other in the most difficult moments." - Jean-François Lamarche, Assistant-director general - Films, Cinémas Beaubien, du Parc et du Musée
