Free screening
In honour of Michel Côté (1950-2023)

In the middle of a bitter Montreal winter, Bert (Guy L’Écuyer) and François (Michel Côté) live in a broken-down, snowbound Chevy parked permanently behind the Moonshine Bowling Alley. Bert is a former bowling champion reduced by arthritis to serving as a sandwich-board man for the Moonshine; François, a buckskin-clad albino from Albinie who appears to have magical powers, runs a tire-protection racket. At night, the Dragons (Pierre Giard, Marcel Fournier, Gilles Lafleur and Yvon Lecompte), a gang of black-jacketed neighbourhood marauders, race souped-up cars on tireless rims, while a mysterious young girl (Lucie Miville) goes around puncturing car tires in an attempt to save her father’s (Robert Gravel) tire shop from bankruptcy.
