Pour Toi Flora

For You Flora (Pour toi Flora) is the story of a brother and sister of Anishinabe descent who spend their youth in a residential school in the 1960s and who, years later, attempt to make peace with their painful past. From the heartbreaking moment when the Oblates take the two children away from their parents to the events that unite them more than five decades later, this six-episode, one-hour drama miniseries depicts different eras in their lives, unfolding together in each episode to tell the story of how a Quebec Aboriginal family splits apart and manages to repair itself.

For You Flora (Pour toi Flora) brings to the screen for the first time the painful legacy of those religious settlements in Quebec that were intended to eradicate Aboriginal cultures. Although fictional, the story of Pour toi Flora is inspired by various testimonies and reflects the reality of several hundred families in the province. The series highlights the innate resilience of these uprooted girls and boys, and the brotherly love that survives, despite the most unimaginable moments of adversity.
