Synopsis
His name was Henri Turcotte. He has lived all his life in the Hochelaga Maisonneuve district. He walked through existence with such light footsteps that he almost disappeared without leaving a trace. He was a stranger, a loner, a former bowling planter who collected old wood from the alleys. He died in the street, he who walked incessantly. The police took him for a homeless man. They did not look for his family. Henri was almost buried in a mass grave. He was 76 years old.
