Once a prosperous community, the small town of Asbestos, Quebec, bears the physical and psychological scars of its past, heavily rooted in the asbestos mining industry. As the village prepares to change its name in an attempt to reframe its history, three former miners reflect on the rise and fall of their town.Through reminiscence and introspection, they pay homage to their heritage, make amends with the present, and anchor themselves in the optimism of a new future — both to heal and change the perceptions and stereotypes of their community.
