Synopsis
À l'occasion de la préparation d'une exposition en hommage au peintre Victor Pellerin, disparu mystérieusement en 1990 après avoir détruit l'ensemble de son œuvre, la réalisatrice Sophie Deraspe tente d'en apprendre davantage sur le passé de ce personnage énigmatique et sur son éventuel présent. Cette quête l'amène à rencontrer ceux qui, à Montréal notamment, ont côtoyé de près Victor Pellerin (de son vrai nom Luc Gauthier) avant sa disparition. Le spectateur y apprend notamment que Pellerin est également poursuivi par la police pour avoir participé à un trafic de faux tableaux. On suit de près, tout au long du film, Eudor Belzile, initiateur de ce projet d'exposition, ingénieur de formation, artiste d'adoption, proche de la famille du « disparu » et qui semble en savoir plus que les autres sur le destin de Victor Pellerin. À la toute fin, l'équipe de tournage embarque d'ailleurs avec lui vers la Colombie, où Belzile vit à l'écart du monde, peut-être en compagnie de Pellerin.Actors

The film follows the life of a middle-aged housekeeper, Séraphine Louis, who has a remarkable talent for painting. Untaught and following what she regards as religious inspiration she finds great appreciation in the beauty found in nature, especially her daily walks to work where she proudly and humbly stops to gaze at trees. In the beginning, it is noted that she stops to collect soil from plants as well as some blood from a dead pig. Later, in her small home lit by candles she is seen using these same ingredients while creating her art. At one point when her art begins to be seen, she is asked how she achieves the unusual effect in her "rouge" (reds). She replies that she prefers to keep that a secret.
