NDDJ (Notre-Dame-du-Jambon)
Synopsis
Karan and Rohan, two biracial brothers raised in an alternative, unique and marginal environment, are creatively finding ways to occupy time. Like many kids, going on a trip to buy candies often seems like a great option to avoid boredom. In the legacy of a docu-fiction, this film plays with the sense of boundaries between what is real and what is fiction.This short film is an ode to the power of reality and fiction, about the love of two brothers, and the countryside's beauty.

Director's statement
Notre-Dame-du-Jambon (NDDJ) is a film that emerged by itself, during the process of creation. All along the pre-production steps, we implicated our brothers in the writing of the script and creation of their characters. This work is the result of ingenuity, creativity, and resilience. We made this honest portrait of our brothers to reclaim the preconceived idea of what it means to be a rural Quebecer.
