When the corpse of hockey executive Benoit Brisset is discovered atop the border marker between Ontario and Québec, police detectives from both Canadian provinces have no choice but to join forces to solve the murder. Straitlaced, by-the-book Anglophone Martin Ward and reckless, rule-bending Francophone David Bouchard are the detectives assigned to work the case together. But their professional, personality, and cultural differences repeatedly get in the way of their ability to cooperate. This multiple Genie Award®-winning film smartly dissects Canadian cultural prejudices through a thrilling murder mystery.

Immediately following the screening will be a discussion with special guest speaker, Ron Falzone, Film Professor, Columbia College Chicago
