Woodpecker

Woodpecker tells the story of Émile, who returns to work with his mother Fanny at a logging camp after a long absence.

The film features a cast that includes Valérie Blais, Normand D'Amour, Sylvio Arriola, and Michel Laperrière, each contributing to the film's exploration of strained familial relationships.
