Histoires d'hiver (1999) ***
Directed by Francois Bouvier. With Joel Drapeau-Dalpe, Denis Chouinard and Diane Lavallee. Wonderfully witty, insightful, charming and entertaining, this little gem deserves to be compared with Mon oncle Antoine. If all you expect is a simple story of a boy obsessed with hockey, brace yourself for a huge treat - this film is like a delicious candy slowly melting in one's mouth.
