Ababooned

Michel Paquette, 12, born with polio, misses Sunday mass to read poetry at St-Amour et fille publishing house. His old companion, Archange St-Amour, who suffers from Parkinson's, needs Michel to help him type Vive le Québec Laïque, an anti-clerical pamphlet written in the midst of Quebec's of Great Darkness era. The pamphlet scandalizes the clergy. The Church's vengeance is nothing compared to that of Michel and his friends. These young people will go to great lengths to defy the clerical order, risking everything in their quest for a secular, egalitarian Quebec.
