Synopsis

Bénédicte and Charles-Thomas, two ambitious city hall employees, invent a sea monster to attract tourists to Saint-Jean-du-Lac. And the best part is that it works! Their video of the "monster" goes viral, and hordes of curious onlookers come to the little village.

 

Note from the artistic direction

Who has never dreamt of staying by a lake in Québec? 

With a delightful offbeat humor in the vein of Parks and Recreation, Saint-Jean-du-Lac welcomes us to its boring everyday life. But cue Bénédicte and Charles-Thomas, two ambitious and shameless city hall employees, who will strive to make it a destination to die for.
