Co-produced with Aquila Productions, it owed its name to the Ontario poet Patrice Desbiens, and paints a portrait of twelve Ontarians, men and women, who contributed to the constantly threatened Francophone culture in Ontario. TVOntario in fact collaborated on 43 of the 65 films produced or co-produced over the past 20 years by the Ontario Centre.
Production is also very active in western Canada.
Inspired by an original song by Daniel Lavoie , the film is an ode to a language that dances, a proud and beautiful language, and makes an appeal for solidarity among the great family of French-speaking peoples around the world.
