Mon Oncle Antoine, 1971. French with English subtitles. TV-MA.

Set in a remote Quebec mining town during the 1940s, Claude Jutra's coming-of-age drama centers on young Benoît, who works at his uncle Antoine’s general store and funeral parlor. As Christmas approaches, the town's harsh realities become evident through Benoît's eyes, including his uncle's heavy drinking and the struggles of the local families. A tragic Christmas Eve journey to retrieve a young boy’s body forces Benoît to confront the fragile line between innocence and adulthood. Called one of the greatest Canadian films of all time, the film captures a bittersweet portrait of rural life and loss.
