What happens

Full Blast is a 1999 film by Canadian director Rodrigue Jean, his first long feature. Filmed in Bathurst, New Brunswick, the film was written by Nathalie Loubeyre as an adaptation of Martin Pitre's novel L'Ennemi que je connais. It was the first French-language feature film funded by Film New Brunswick, the provincial film development agency. The film had its theatrical premiere at the 1999 Toronto International Film Festival, before going into general theatrical release in early 2000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
