Sylvie Groulx
Born in Montreal, Sylvie Groulx graduated from Concordia University in 1977 with a B.A. in Communications. Her career quickly became marked by an interest in filmmaking that was both personal and socially engaged. After directing her first acclaimed documentary, Le grand remue-ménage, in 1978, she joined Cinéma Libre, a distribution company for independent films. Co-founder of the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois in 1982, she also accumulated commitments to the cause of cinema: college teacher, member of the board of directors of the Association des réalisateurs et réalisatrices du Québec, author of articles... Her work, ranging from fiction and documentary, questions the loss of reference points and social engagement.

Through the portraits, questions and preoccupations of young Quebecers aged 20 to 25, this documentary raises, often with humour, a reflection on Quebec society in 1988: family, couples, work, unemployment, creation, politics, the future, and so on. The director, for her part, embodies the 35-year-old generation, helping to measure how far we've come since the late 60s.
