Le goût d'un pays is the story of a meeting between Gilles Vigneault and Fred Pellerin during maple sugar season. It's a choral documentary that tells the story of the country through one of Quebec's most iconic rituals. It's a hymn to maple syrup and the people who produce it. In the frank, inspiring light of spring, a drop of sap beads on the tip of the spile. The two poets gather it and spin the metaphor. The tradition of the sugar makers takes on the look of vivid tableaux. The richness of our local words and the power of simple gestures reveal the beauty and fragility of our culture.
