Some 7,000 Hasidim live in or near Outrement, the posh neighborhood of Québec's Francophone elite.

Stepping beyond stereotypes, the film presents the points of view of both sides. Real dialogues take place between Quebecois and Hasidim, as the Hasidic lifestyle is revealed and friendships take root. POV Magazine reports, “In these divisive times, the film’s emphasis on civility and discourse is most refreshing.”
