This is Quebec in the 1970s and Dominic lives with his grandmother (Angele Coutu) whose explanation of why his mother took off after his birth is suitably vague. It’s enough to set him off on a quest that eventually leads him to a remote shack forest in the countryside. It’s where he finds his mother (Tania Kontoyanni) living with Irene (Alexandra Petrachuk) her much younger lover, and the locals in the nearby town consider them as white witches.
Nearby is a Monastery where Daniel the young man who Dominic had espied outside the laundromat lives. He is not just a Seminarian but is the ‘protege’ of a very creepy Father Andrew (Andreas Apergis) who has been sexually and mentally abusing him for years.
Like Dominic’s grandmother, we are not sure if his theory about Daniel may be his twin because up to now with him compulsively taking Polaroid selfies we know he is totally self-obsessed. Seeing his so-called double may just be a figment of his imagination.
It isn’t, and when the two men finally meet it’s obvious that they are twins (Daniel is played by Duvall and a body double). The action hots up as La Bruce’s imagination really kicks in and leads us to a melodramatic finale that shows his passion for B-movies.
After the film, the director will showcase images from his latest project, a photo shoot for Doesn’t Exist magazine that recreates Pasolini’s 1968 classic Theorem. LaBruce will then be joined in conversation by very special guests for a Q&A, hosted by Victor Fraga.
The Event is hosted by DMovies, in collaboration with Apolitical & Doesn’t Exist Magazine.. P.S The movie can also be streamed on PeccadilloPOD.com
