Synopsis
En 1940, à Montréal dans le quartier Saint-Henri, la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui ravage l'Europe amène l'espoir d’un terme à la dépression économique, qui maintient jusque-là Saint-Henri dans la pauvreté. Florentine Lacasse y travaille au comptoir-restaurant des Quinze-Cents. Elle remet son petit salaire à ses parents pour aider à la subsistance de sa famille nombreuse. Jean Lévesque séduit Florentine, mais sa pauvre condition ne convient pas à ses ambitions. Il essaie de la faire s'amouracher d'un copain, Emmanuel Létourneau. Le film raconte l'histoire de ces trois relations avec, en arrière-plan, la vie familiale difficile des Lacasse.Actors
