The film gives voice to children who are said to have little chance of escaping their condition, children who are going through those crucial years when we build our self-image and project ourselves into the future. The children of "Vues de l'Est" are filmed where they live, we get attached to their neighbourhood, their families, their fears. They become reporters themselves and capture on film objects, places, people that are meaningful to them: a picture of a father we have never known, a place where we like to think, a homeless man with a tattered heart. Beyond fear and doubt, the film bears witness to the light that lives in the children of the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood, to the strength and beauty of these lives that resemble all the others. Lives full of dreams of tomorrow that sing. See less
