Somewhere in the world, a war is raging. Terrified of being drafted, Philippe has fled from Montreal to the wild and mesmerizing American West. He makes a living out of Charlie Chaplin impersonation contests. But the cruelty of humanity is not limited to the battlefields, and it is not long before Philippe discovers the darker side of the American dream.
A film that is both poetic and dark with a five-star cast: Martin Dubreuil plays alongside Romain Duris, Reda Kateb, Sarah Gadon and Soko among others. "La grande noirceur is a beautiful, profound and intriguing philosophical fable that unfolds as a mystical reflection on Quebec's place in an overpowering America." (Charles-Henri Ramond)
