When We Were Boys
2013, French. Directed by Richard Goudreau.
Christmas 1967, when hockey was played on outdoor rinks. The Boys form the parish's second team and are guaranteed participation in the Holiday Tournament as they are the hosts. Despite limited talent, they dream of victory. Off the ice, they will have to deal with all kinds of moments that one experiences at that age; some funny and some difficult. Together, however, they will face them. Together, they will try to grow, because this is how they have chosen to live: Together.
