This Martine Chartrand's animated short film (she directed Black Soul) tells the bond of friendship weaved in Quebec, by 1933, between Félix Leclerc and Frank Randolph Macpherson, a Jamaican engineer-chemist who inspired to the famous poet a song on the drave. Between fiction and documentary, through expanding sequences of story and around the putting in images of the song, the film-maker realizes an animation of painting on glass, evoking with delicacy the feelings which would have connected the engineer and one of the sisters of the poet.
