- Quebec, the 1830s and 1840s. As she attends the bedside of Jérôme, her second husband, Élisabeth recalls her youth, her marriage to her first husband, Antoine, life in remote Kamouraska where he is seigneur, their love dissolving in his mental illness and cruelties, her falling in love with an American physician, Georges Nelson, and the aftermath of Antoine's violent death.
- -"La Semaine verte" was first a radio program in September 19, 1970 on Radio-Canada's Première Chaîne, and then a television program since 1971. It is a weekly meeting with nature, exploring the realities of agriculture, fishing, forestry and the environment. The objective of the emission has broadened and also touches on ecology and the environment. It closely follows current events in the rural world, but is addressed to all those who are interested in the quality of what we eat, by protecting the environment and managing our renewable resources. Weekly audience ratings are 400,000 listeners each week. The program is also presented in webcast and podcast format.
- Julie, a woman in her mid-twenties, comes back to her village after completing her upper studies in the big city. The occupation of a prestigious new job is the reason behind her comeback. At first, Julie is pleased to see her family and her former friends, but a sense of contempt slowly emerges. She has now come to despise everything that she once loved, thus erasing her former self completely.
- Giles is in the unusual position in Québec, Québec, without Julia, the two who are still in telephone contact as they rely largely on the advice of a local food blogger. Giles is hoping that the local food scene is not just French food wannabe, and poutine, which he nonetheless has to eat before he leaves. He does learn that the local food scene is largely French fusion, which is reflected in the five restaurants chosen. The first restaurant he visits is Hosaka-Ya, a ramen noodle house, family owned and operated based on "mom"'s recipes. Although Giles does try the phallically shaped king clam aka geoduck there for the first time in his life, he will probably base his decision on whether to give them his million dollar review on the strength or weakness of the soup stock, the hallmark of any ramen place. The second restaurant is L'Affaire est Ketchup, a hipster joint, whose owners have no defined concept for the establishment, wanting the food and atmosphere to speak for themselves. Being hipster and warned by Julia, Giles is expecting extremely casual, but even Giles is surprised by the general lackadaisical attitude of the hipster owners and the state of the non-commercial kitchen. The food will have to win Giles over for them to get his review. The third restaurant is Soupe & Cie, which has the unusual concept of serving solely healthy soups (which Giles in general finds boring) and tartars. The food will have to wow him to overcome the uncomfortable tree stump seats to get the review. Giles does admit, however, that the internal scenery - the owner and staff - are nice to look at while he's waiting. The fourth restaurant is Panache, a fine dining establishment in the equally high end Auberge Saint-Antoine Hotel. It is run by a family with a two hundred year history in Québec. They will have to live up to their avant-garde label to get Giles' review. The final restaurant is La Traite, which serves a modern take on First Nations food. As is his custom, Giles orders what he considers the most disgusting thing on the menu - seal - the taste of which may decide if they get his review. In-between Giles' meals, he goes to a traditional sugar shack, sending him to which he may chastise Julia for more reasons than one. And about that poutine...
