Synopsis edit
Three parallel story lines draw an exploited hotel stripper (Lomez) who is sent to work a small Quebec town, a drunken gang of hell-raising snowmobilers, and a film crew attempting to shoot a political documentary about exploited textile workers (echoing Denys Arcand's own NFB-banned documentary On est au coton), together into a potent mixture of action, violence against women, and film as a political tool.
