Willie

Climb in, turn the key, engines ready, off we go…3,000 kilometres of highway, Florida–Montreal in a matter of days, and nearly 70 years of memories going past the windows of a blue Cadillac…This is Willie, a miniseries that feels like a road movie, freely inspired by the life of Willie Lamothe, charismatic personality and shining star of Quebecois country music.

Willie returns to Montreal to be honoured during a grand televised gala. In the company of his wife Jeannette and his chauffeur, he looks back at his professional and family lives. The former is a success, the latter a failure. Memories flow. With them comes the dawning of a new awareness by both Willie and Jeannette that they have experienced the same events from very different perspectives and that they are perhaps communicating for the first time…at last.
