Rescapés,les: Saison 1

About this product

- 1964. Montreal police inspector Gérald Boivin (Roy Dupuis) is forced to take some time off right in the middle of a case. He decides to bundle the family - his wife (Guylaine Tremblay), their three kids and his elderly father - into a camper for a trip to Maine. But before they can even get out of the city, the convoy takes an unexpected detour and the whole family ends up travelling forward in time to the year 2010! After a series of jolting confrontations with their time-shifted reality (like hearing the Trois Accords’ hit “Hawaïenne” on the radio), they realize what has happened.

- The Boivins are completely lost in a not-so-distant future and their only wish is to return home to 1964. To do that, they need to find the man who sent them into the future for reasons unknown.

- “It all may sound improbable, but the actors are so good, the scriptwriter so inspired and the director so inventive, that you suspend disbelief and let yourself be swept up in this out-of-the-ordinary tale. Dupuis and Tremblay form a couple both unlikely and credible, and the three actors playing the kids, Maxim Gaudette, Ève Lemieux and Antoine L’Ecuyer, are pitch-perfect. Benoît Girard brings plenty of colour to the role of the grumpy, jocular grandpa, who’s surely more clever than he lets on. Everyone seems authentically rooted in the sixties.” – Richard Therrien, Le Soleil

- A startling series that many people thought would be too complicated
