The film's cast also includes Geneviève Deloir, Donald Pilon, Yvon Dufour, Claude Michaud and Raymond Cloutier.
The film won three Canadian Film Awards at the 22nd Canadian Film Awards, for Best Supporting Actor (Gélinas), Best Supporting Actress (Giroux) and Best Cinematography (Bernard Chentrier).[2]
