    At her family’s cabin on Wakaw Lake, Saskatchewan, renowned Fransaskois singer-songwriter Alexis Normand invites audiences into a series of candid exchanges about belonging and bilingualism on the Prairies. Weaving together old home movies with current conversations, French Enough illuminates the struggle and triumph of reclaiming francophone Canadian identity. As parents, children and grandchildren sing, play and celebrate, in both French and English, the act of carrying a language forward finally becomes a thing of freedom and joy.

    Au chalet familial du lac Wakaw, en Saskatchewan, la réputée auteure-compositrice-interprète fransaskoise Alexis Normand nous convie à une discussion franche sur l’appartenance et le bilinguisme dans les Prairies. Entremêlant des extraits de vieux films familiaux à cette conversation actuelle, Assez French met en relief les combats et les victoires que comporte la reconquête de son identité canadienne francophone. Alors que parents, enfants et petits-enfants se rassemblent pour chanter, jouer et faire la fête, en français et en anglais, cet acte de transmission d’une langue devient enfin synonyme de joie et de liberté.
