While travelling the roads and villages of the Quebec countryside, one often sees off-beat structures and fabulous installations that reveal a unique world of surprising originality. These curious constructions are the work of local people who, even with no artistic training, are compelled by an almost visceral desire to create.
This film shows us the work and everyday life of three such artists and their families. Harshly judged by their compatriots, they face the devastating reality of living on the fringe of a society that seeks to ostracize them at all cost. Yet some ultimately enjoy a tardy though symbolic, recognition that finally validates the hard work they have invested ove their lifetime.
