synopsis
This disturbing drama, based on a real incident that occurred in Quebec during 1970, tells the story of the provincial government's reaction after the Liberation Front of Quebec took hostages. The government imprisoned 450 people without warrants, and much of the film centers on the cruelty inflicted upon these victims.
