Les enfants de la rivière Nouvelle

In the director’s family, nine children were adopted between 1945 and 2004. As we meet them, we gradually discover the context in which these children were born in Quebec, Innu territory, Romania, China and Haiti. It’s a little-known story of adoption in Quebec, and of the women from here and elsewhere who had to give up their children for adoption. A multi-generational tale, the film offers a personal and universal look at the quest for origins, filiation, family and a certain history of women that has endured to the present day.
