Story
Poirier's daughter had turned to drugs and prostitution before being murdered at age 26. In this film, Poirier explores the life of her daughter to better understand her and other young people who put their lives at risk with drugs. She enters the world of Montreal's street people, looking at addicts, prostitutes and people living with AIDS, to attempt to follow the events leading to her daughter's death.
