What it’s about. It is the early 20th century. A stranger arrives in the small, rural community and disrupts the lives of its inhabitants. The man, who refuses to give his name, is dubbed The Outlander. A traveller who disdains conventional behaviour and parochialism, The Outlander disturbs the villagers' complacency and scandalizes the community; he also elicits admiration and gains a woman's love. He ultimately leaves in the same manner he had arrived, but not before he has helped the villagers open their eyes to the larger world beyond their village.
Who’s in it. The Outlander stars Jean-Nicolas Verreault as Le Survenant, Anick Lemay as Angélina Desmarais, Gilles Renaud as Didace Beauchemin and François Chénier as Amable Beauchemin, among others.
