Antoine Bertrand, Louis Morissette, François Arnaud and Patrice Robitaille received the prize for best male interpretation awarded at the Alpe d’Huez Festival during a ceremony held on Saturday.

This prize is normally awarded to one person, but the jury was obviously seduced by the Quebec quartet who played four brothers traveling from Montreal to the Magdalen Islands to scatter their father’s ashes there. This family trip is an opportunity for the brothers to settle some old conflicts before getting closer.
The film written and directed by Ken Scott was the only Quebec opus registered in the official competition of this festival dedicated to comedy. Antoine Bertrand also played in two other French feature films, I love what you do, by Philippe Guillard, and Three times nothing, by Nadege Loiseau.
It’s the movie Irreducible by Jérôme Commandeur who won the Grand Prix.
The Alpe d’Huez festival was in its 25thand editing.
