This film is the biography of the great Quebec writer, composer and singer Felix Leclerc. It is about his life and work and covers more than 30 years of Leclerc`s life, since the very first test-recording of the song until his death...ups and downs...Paris and Montreal... the struggle for Quebec freedom... the music.
Leclerc`s music accompanies the whole film. Major role in this movie was played by Daniel Lavoie. He performed all Felix songs.
Daniel: «I met with Gaetan, Felix wife, and she told me, that I was 22-23 years old, when she and Felix saw me on the TV for the first time. I`ve just arrived from Manitoba. She asked her husband: «Tell me, did you have any girlfriends in Manitoba?»
In 2005 Daniel released the album «Moi mon Felix».
