Directed by: Roger Gariepy
Genres: Drama
Starring: Martin Drainville, Isabelle Vincent, Claire Jacques

Overview: An unassuming middle-aged accountant learns he has only weeks to live. Rather than tell everyone, Martin determines to learn the three pages of a Bach adagio for piano he'd abandoned as a child. That accomplished, he performs the piece for his wife and friends, completing his life and thanking those who brightened it along the way.
