The year is 1969, the place is an Ontario suburb, and the Field family's fragile domestic peace is coming to an end. The story is told in loops and flashbacks. With the opening and final scenes at Niagara Falls, the bulk of the film depicts the events leading to the funeral scene shown at the beginning. In the background looms the tragedy of the suspicious death years ago of the first-born son; a pervasive and never spoken of subject.

Avec l’aide de codétenus et du personnel carcéral, Simon a monté, pour ce dernier, un événement théâtral qui relate sa propre histoire et son lien avec celle de l’évêque. Alternent dans le récit une succession magistrale de tableaux conjuguant épisodes du passé et scènes de l’événement théâtral en prison. À Roberval, au début du siècle, l’histoire d’amour secrète entre deux adolescents, Simon et , se termine par la mort tragique de Vallier dans un incendie. Même s’il clame son innocence, leur liaison et les apparences font que Simon est encore en prison quarante ans plus tard.
