DÉTOUR

For 22 years, secretary Léo Huff has worked in the same office, lived with the same woman, in the same little bungalow, amidst the same furniture that has never been rearranged. One day, all of that is blown to smithereens.

Leo is asked to represent an engineer at a project presentation out of town. While he’s there, he helps out a young woman in trouble who urges him to step off the beaten path. For Leo, this is the beginning of a new life, a life that’s chaotic, strange, explosive and full of the unexpected. Who knew what was dormant inside this little office worker? No one. Not even Leo. Especially not Leo.

Sylvain Guy
Director

Sylvain Guy cut his teeth as a director with his short film Zie 37 Stagen that won 15 prizes from a variety of international film festivals. In 1995, he wrote, with Jean-Marc Vallée, Liste Noire that became a box-office hit in Quebec and won nine nominations for Genie awards. The success of Liste Noire earned Guy a request to adapt and direct the film in English. The List starred Ryan O'Neal and Ben Gazzara and was distributed by 20th Century Fox. In 2003, Guy co-wrote the screenplay for Pierre Houle’s Machine Gun Molly that won the Genie award for best adaptation (2005). More recently, he was an script advisor to Jean-Marc Vallée’s C.R.A.Z.Y. and wrote the screen-adaptation to Gaétan Soucy’s cult best-seller La petite fille qui aimait trop les allumettes.
