Saint-Narcisse

Saint-Narcisse

61st TIFF: Greek premiere

1972, Quebec, Canada. Dominic, aged 22, is a modern-day Narcissus as nothing turns him on more than the reflection of his image. When his grandmother dies, a dark family secret is unveiled. His mother didn’t die in childbirth, as he was told, and he has an identical twin brother, who was raised by a depraved priest in a monastery. A somber fate reunites the two siblings, who get entangled in a web of lust, revenge, and a futile quest for redemption.
