Ailleurs is the first feature length film by Samuel Matteau showcasing two exceptional young actors: Noah Parker and Théodore Pellerin (guest at FFC 2018 for his short film, Sigismond Imageless). The film tells the story of Samu and Tévé, two 15 year old boys on a journey through the alleyways of the city of Québec. They are desperate to flee their lives at the Seminary of the Marist Fathers and escape to the bright colors and warmth of California. When Samu stabs his father in a heated argument, the two best friends flee in the night. However, without the financial means, they end up finding refuge with La Belette, a young junkie who is at loggerheads with his dealer, who takes them under his wing and brings them back to the “squat”, met unkindly by the other ” squatters.” Best friends, their friendship is tested… they are being sought by police.
