Blue Sky Jo
1980s, Quebec. Her name is Hélène, but she calls herself Jo because she wants to be like Joséphine La Petite Mousquetaire, her favourite cartoon heroine. Jo is only ten years old, has three sisters, a father who is very busy being unhappy, and an understanding, but strict mother. She lives in a working-class neighbourhood populated by often colourful people, the most endearing of whom is her new neighbour, Monsieur Roger, a gruff old man who hides a tender heart. With her romantic soul and an imagination hungry for drama, Jo would also like to achieve great feats. One day, she sets herself the mission of saving her father from work and misfortune.
