By committing one of the 1200 suicides that took place in Quebec that year, he plunged his friends and loved ones into a whirlwind of questions and deep sadness, the same one that assails anyone brutally left in mourning by a voluntary and irremediable departure. Mario was the best and oldest friend of the director of this film. In this documentary, the director describes and dissects what preceded Mario's ultimate gesture, as well as dismantling the mechanics of the disarray experienced by his tightly knit band of friends. By extension, it is the story of a disturbing experience that each of us has unfortunately lived or will live. See less
