Although the grass is much richer, Sasseneire are rumored to be cursed. Two decades before, another group of farmers paid a high price: their cows fell ill, some farmers died and others lost their minds.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
