L’espace d’un été

Over the course of a summer, filmmaker André Melançon captures the everyday lives of three boys on the cusp of adolescence: Jacques, Normand and Stéphane. In a backyard in their working-class Montreal neighbourhood, they build a playhouse that becomes their gathering place—a world of dreams, plans, and adventures, but also disagreements, quarrels, and reconciliations. Through their games, gestures and silences, Melançon delicately captures the ebb and flow of their friendship.
