Summary: When Michel, a failed inventor from Belgium, discovers he was adopted, he sets off to find his birth parents in Canada. There he encounters Louis, a kindred spirit who has much in common with Michel. Is this a coincidence, or not?
Canadian director Philippe Falardeau toys with coincidence, contrivance, and near-mystical encounters, in this comic drama with as many twists of fate as there are twists of plot. But, clever viewers will spot the visual clues to make this an enjoyable interactive movie experience. In addition, CONGORAMA boasts stellar performances from an international cast, including wonderful bits by veterans Jean-Pierre Cassel (Murder on the Orient Express) and Gabriel Arcand (The Decline of the American Empire).
