Congorama Page #2

Synopsis: Michel, the Belgian son of a paralyzed writer, husband of a Congolese refugee, and father of a future tennis champion, is an erratic inventor misunderstood by his employer. At age 41, he learns that he was born secretly in a barn in Québec, in the town of Sainte-Cécile, and given up for adoption shortly afterward. In the summer of 2000, Michel goes there and finds a sleepy village that soon makes him want to run back home. There, he meets a man who drives a car with a technologically advanced hybrid engine. On their way back to Montréal, an accident changes their lives forever, and what is uncovered will challenge the very future of the automotive industry. Welcome to "Congorama."

E-672.

But the form doesn't clear

the merchandise, l do.

Fine, but hurry. l'm late

for a meeting with National Power.

lt's not like clearing chocolate.

Without the ATA,

l have to hold it.

No, l'm not selling it.

lt's my calling card.

As essential as your uniform.

lt has to be cleared.

Montreal Airport reminds you

that security is everyone's concern.

Don't move!

The de-icer is placed on top

of the pylon.

The model doesn't show

the proportions,

but the weight is minimal.

Just ask Canadian Customs.

The ultrasound transmitter

relays a frequency to the line

capable of eliminating

How would l go about finding

my parents?

There must be some register

or file.. .

Your adoption never took place,

officially.

Yours, l still remember.

Because l hid you away

And you never cried.

Your father's name was Legrand,

Thank you.

Thanks.

Lousy French fries!

Hello.
