Three Princesses for Roland

Andre-Line Beauparlant

(French with English subtitles)

Roland's suicide becomes a pretext, allowing this documentary to speak to us about poverty, love and hate, about the present and the past and about alcohol and violence. The director introduces us to three generations of women in her family whose lives resemble one another and, amazingly, are repeated. About what we pass on and what we inherit.
