Pilon
An Amazone Film production
75 minutes, 2006
Distributed by:
Les films Séville
The movie depicts the portrait of Louis-Joseph Hébert,
alias Nestor, an orphan in the Duplessis’ era. With
his undeniable charisma and his words full of imagery,
Nestor fascinates with his allure of an old eccentric
biker. But above all, the love of life and people and
his instinct of survival complete his portrait. Nestor
is a fighter, an engaging survivor who compels the others
with respect. Today, he comes along and supports his companions
from Huberdeau’s orphanage in their fight to regain
their lost dignity. In this David’s battle against
Goliath, tears, laughs and fraternity blend together on
an every day basis.
With Nestor et les oubliés, a concealed period
of Quebec recent history emerges at the surface of our
memory.
