Storia
Normande St-Onge, working as a clerk in a pharmacy and pursuing her dream of becoming a cabaret dancer, takes her mother Berthe out of a mental institution where she was confined by Normande's wealthy uncle Jean-Paul. Normande believes her mother isn't insane. Back at their home, they live with Normande's sister Pierette who has asthma and drug addiction, Normande's unemployed boyfriend Bouliane, and a young magician named Carol whom Normande took in after he was evicted from his home. All these people depend on Normande, exploiting her kindness. When Normande receives an eviction notice due to the building being demolished for a restaurant reconstruction, she spirals into madness as her reality becomes too much to bear.
