Synopsis
Follows in the footsteps of photographer Gabor Szilasi, who documented the decline of rural, homegrown culture in Quebec's Charlevoix region three decades ago. Szilasi found a culture that, while endangered, was still very much alive; the subjects of his photographs retained a profound sense of community. Here, Szilasi's journey is retraced, through meeting and discussing old times with his subjects. These people seem determined to hang on to the old ways but they are entirely cognizant of the fact that their lifestyle is doomed. .
