Ruelles où sont alignées les poubelles à l'ombre des cheminées, premières beuveries, premiers jupons; on fait un tour d'horizon du Montréal des années 1950 à travers les yeux d'un adolescent. Les dessins apparaissent et disparaissent au gré des vers de cette chanson où Jean-Pierre Ferland revisite l’univers de ses 16 ans.

Education

Ages 13 to 16
School subjects
The teacher plays five songs that he or she has selected among the most popular works of Quebec’s five great chansonniers: Leclerc, Vigneault, Léveillée, Ferland, Charlebois. Each student chooses one of the songs in secret and illustrates it in a style imitating that of the animated film. The teacher numbers the drawings, puts them up around the class, and has the students associate each drawing with one of the five songs, by secret ballot. The drawing that is “decoded” most often is awarded the top score.
