    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The film is very loosely based on the 1970 October Crisis in Québec. The character Pierre Lemoyne (the leader of the independence party) is based on the actual founder of the Parti Québécois, René Lévesque ("Le moine" means "the monk" while "L'évêque" means "the bishop").
