Trailer
Heritage, Tradition and Roots
It is not just another road movie about a group of musicians on the road. The ultimate purpose of the film is to show how La Bottine Souriante is able to take traditional music, which captures in song the heritage not only of Quebec and the rest of Canada but also large parts of Europe and beyond, and reinvent it for the modern world.
