Synopsis
Deux adolescents sont élevés depuis leur naissance dans un coin isolé de la campagne québécoise par un père despotique et misanthrope. Autorisés à sortir du manoir, ils peuvent parcourir la forêt à leur gré, mais le père leur interdit de se rendre au village. La liberté devient dès lors une aspiration à vivre des jours meilleurs pour la jeune fille, alors que son frère tente en vain de contrôler sa libido naissante. Les trois reclus vivent dans une relative harmonie et s'entendent pour repousser les curieux qui s'aventurent près du manoir. Ils ont aussi la charge de nourrir et donner des soins à une chose horrible qu'ils gardent dans la grange. Lorsque le père décède, les deux enfants enfin libres doivent réapprendre à vivre dans un monde qui leur est inconnu. Le frère veut perpétuer les règles du père, mais sa sœur cherche à les transgresser une fois pour toutes. Chacun à sa façon tente d'appréhender la société des hommes, mais leurs modes de vie et de pensées paraissent si étranges qu'ils pourraient en être violemment rejetés.Actors

The story begins with a boy hanging himself in a tree, for fun. Léon is a 10-year-old kid, with a tendency to vandalize, lie, prank, steal or even attempt suicide. He is not necessarily suicidal, but to escape punishments for his other deeds, he uses the suicide trick to get out of blame. When his parents were making fighting, he sets fire to the bed, simply to make them stop. The story circulates around the evolving love of Léon, and another girl that lives next door, whose name is Lea. She is regularly beaten by her uncle, and dreams of a normal childhood, specifically showing a desire for Barbie dolls. Their love proves to be difficult however, as at first Leon cannot admit that he likes her, but when he confesses his love, Lea throws him off by replying that she too loves herself. Léon's mother moves away when she and her husband have had a big argument, and leaves the next day for Greece. Léon and his brother struggle to accept this, and try several different ways to get in touch with her, such as running away to Greece, ringing her, or trying to find her home address. Leon follows Lea's plan to go to Greece but really Lea wants to look for her father. Lea runs off to look for her father but her father moved over a year ago, according to the woman living in the house where he once lived. Leon and Lea return but Leon's father is furious and Leon jumps off a high ledge to attempt suicide but fails. One day, a woman that resembles Léons mother arrives from Greece, and delivers both messages and gifts from her. She is most probably a daughter. She also secretly gives Léon's brother the telephone number for her mother, and he telephones her many times in the dead of night; leaving expensive bills for Léon (the chronic liar) to take blame for. The story ends with Léon going to a local bowling alley where he often goes to spend time, but this time he places his head where the bowling ball hits the pins, and awaits the impact of the ball. Though he wakes up, and realizes that life may not be for him, but he is made for life.

The schoolteacher has barely arrived when he begins to pursue the beautiful young heiress Katrina Van Tassel, angering Abraham Van Brunt, who is courting her.
