How it feels

A poet in a small Ontario town stages a gala to mark the end of the Franco-Ontarian people. He invites a famous artist to give a final testimony, but his father and the community struggle to understand his mission. A mythical figure called the Spectre steps in to help the poet in his own playful way.
