In 1987, Marcel Béliveau appeared on French TV show 'Surprise Sur Prises' and opened the doors of France to his fellow Québec comedians. Anthony Kavanagh, Michel Courtemanche, Stéphane Rousseau, Véronique Dicaire, Rachid Badouri and Sugar Sammy have all successfully tried their hand at French comedy, and the next generation of comedians is assured with Mariana Maza, Reda Saoui and Virginie Fortin. This documentary, commented by Québec and French personalities, retraces their history through hilarious sketches, cult parodies, TV and radio shows and happenings.

The documentary looks back on the evolution and key moments of black humour in Quebec.
