Twenty-seven-year-old Stéphane Brousseau is a compulsive gambler. When the bank is about to seize the pigsty she inherited from her father, she tries to make some money by selling the crop of marijuana that two city criminals are growing on her land.

In 1988, in Saint-Élie-de-Caxton, an eleven years old boy is worried for his grandmother's life. Worn out by illness, the old storyteller tries to convince her grandson that the Death no longer exists. Her story will bring back to life the extraordinary people from the village in 1927 who, by using rocambolesque tricks, will eliminate the Death that threatens them. From now on, death will coincide with the birth of legends. (imdb)
