    • Synopsis
    • Albert Payette (Roy Dupuis), a former agronomist turned beekeeper, greens the rooftops of Montreal with his nephew Jerry (Émile Schneider) to save bees. Bored with heaven, Brother Marie-Victorin (Yves Jacques), author of the Laurentian Flora and founder of Montreal’s Botanical Garden, returns to earth to help Albert.

      All the while, Albert introduces Marie-Victorin to his Honey-Mead which he sells to bourgeois ladies to finance his dream of retiring to idyllic Mingan. Lili de la Rosbil (Juliette Gosselin), an idealist journalist and Mathile Gavreau (Christine Beaulieu), a big-time lawyer, will go to great lengths to save Mexican agricultural labourers forced to work with poisonous chemicals from villainous multinational company Transgenia.
