On 10 October 1970, four Front de Libération du Québec militants kidnapped the Minister of Labour and Immigration. A week later, the police found the Minister’s body in the boot of the car in which he had been kidnapped. What exactly happened during that week? Why did it happen? How? Under what circumstances? Hour by hour, day by day, we follow the lives of the five men trapped for seven days in the house on Armstrong Street: their doubts, their hopes, their fears, their heartbreak, their convictions. Caught up in the implacable logic of events, carried away by the weight of things, one by one they face their destiny. They decide. Alone. Together.
