September Five at Saint-Henri

September Five at Saint-Henri 1962 Directed by Hubert Aquin À Saint-Henri le cinq septembre

This short film is a series of vignettes of life in Saint-Henri, a Montreal working-class district, on the first day of school. From dawn to midnight, we take in the neighbourhood’s pulse: a mother fussing over children, a father's enforced idleness, teenage boys clowning, young lovers dallying - the unposed quality of daily life.
