In 1981, an unusual person arrives in Natashquan, marking the beginning of an unlikely love story between this small Quebec village and the young man they call “The Punk”. Five years later, he vanishes without a trace, forever impacting the community.
Filmed 40 years after his disappearance, The Punk of Natashquan is a cinematic investigation that ventures into the mythology of “The Punk”. Drawing on the styles of direct cinema and true crime, blended with archive, this short film blurs the boundaries between reality and legend, creating a portrait of the spirit of The Punk— captivating, complex, and as genre-defying as the man himself.
Film is in French with English subtitles.
