Synopsis
At 17 Jérémie dreams of a life different from the one that awaits him at the family sawmill in the small Canadian town where he lives. Jérémie is more interested in pimping his car, listening to hip hop, and slacking off with his friends. This impressionistic debut, built upon convincing performances, tells of a summer that completely changed a teenager’s life.
Synopsis
THE SOUND OF TREES chronicles the summer of a teenager caught between the river and the forest. Seventeen year-old Jérémie dreams of a better life, away from the family sawmill and his native village of Gaspésie, Québec. Instead of the forestry work, Jérémie prefers pimping his car, hip hop and slacking off with his friends. The situation drives his father Régis to despair as he blames his son’s attitude on a local drug dealer. When Jérémie’s elder brother leaves town, tensions rise quickly in the summer heat.
