What happens

Larose, Pierrot and Luce (French: Larose, Pierrot et la Luce) is a comedy-drama film, directed by Claude Gagnon and released in 1982. The film stars Richard Niquette as Jacques Larose, a man who has returned to his hometown in Quebec following several years working abroad in diplomatic service. Inheriting his grandmother's run-down old house following her death, he decides to enlist his childhood friend Pierrot Joyal (Luc Matte) to help him renovate it and reconnect following their years of having grown apart, only for Pierrot to unexpectedly bring along his girlfriend Luce (Louise Portal), whose free-spirited ways challenge Jacques's desire for order and predictability.
