SYNOPSIS
In a Quebec where even artisanal butcher shops rely on industrial meat, Renée LeBlanc-Paulin makes a radical choice: to work exclusively from whole local carcasses, which she and her team break down every week in her butcher shop in Trois-Pistoles. Around her, a network of committed women — a chef, a livestock farmer, a slaughterhouse manager, an institutional cook — helps keep alive a supply chain as fragile as it is necessary.

SEE COMPLETE PROFILEKarine Lamontagne approaches documentary filmmaking with great sensitivity and a strong interest in human stories. She favors narratives rooted in local realities, where people, context, and location are inseparable. Originally from Abitibi and now based in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region, Karine has a deep sense of belonging to the area and its social fabric. This relationship with the land directly shapes her perspective and the projects she develops. Drawing on a varied background within the industry, she brings a critical eye and a nuanced understanding of the inner workings of production as a whole, skills she puts in service of a documentary practice that is rigorous, sensitive, and committed.
