English:
The nostalgic yet sharp-eyed story of the bond that develops between two very different neighbours, BLUE SKY JO is a richly nuanced adaptation of an award-winning novel by Marie-Renée Lavoie. Juliette Bharucha gives a terrific performance as Hélène, a 10-year-old girl growing up in a working-class corner of Quebec City in the early 1980s. Though the youngster’s vivid imagination provides her with an escape, Hélène’s perceptive nature means she’s well aware of the growing tensions within her family. That’s why her connection to Monsieur Roger (Gildor Roy), an elderly grouch who lives nearby, becomes more valuable than either of them could predict. The winner for best French-language feature at Cinéfest and one of Quebec's most warmly received films of the year, director Patrice Sauvé’s drama movingly conveys the warmth and solace that we can sometimes find in the people near us, provided we’re ready to look for them.
Française:
L’histoire nostalgique et sans concession d’un lien improbable entre deux voisins très différents, LA PETITE ET LE VIEUX est une adaptation richement nuancée du roman primé de Marie-Renée Lavoie. Juliette Bharucha livre une performance exceptionnelle dans le rôle d’Hélène, une fillette de 10 ans grandissant dans un quartier ouvrier de Québec au début des années 1980. Si son imagination vive lui permet de s’évader, sa nature perceptive lui fait aussi comprendre les tensions croissantes au sein de sa famille. Sa relation avec Monsieur Roger (Gildor Roy), un vieil homme bougon du voisinage, devient alors une ressource précieuse et inattendue. Lauréat du meilleur long métrage francophone à Cinéfest, le drame de Patrice Sauvé transmet avec émotion la chaleur et le réconfort que l’on peut parfois trouver auprès des gens qui nous entourent, à condition d’être prêt à les chercher.
