Shot in Sainte-Luce in Bas-Saint-Laurent, Le temps d’unété has broken attendance records since its release on July 14 at the Lido cinema in Rimouski.
3:30 p.m. Friday. Like almost every day this week, the Lido cinema in Rimouski is practically full for the screening of the film signed by Louise Archambault.

I heard about it and got very good comments, moreover, the film was shot in Sainte-Luce, comments a viewer.
It’s a Quebec film shot in Sainte-Luce, we’ll see the locations. “It’s with us, it’s important,” adds another viewer.
The film is so popular that it rivals the Barbie mega-production at Rimouski Lido cinema.
All over Quebec, and in Rimouski in particular, there is a lot of excitement about the film The Time of a Summer, which is very, very, very gratifying, notes Patrick Roy, film distributor and president of Immina Films.
It’s a cannon launch. It’s really extraordinary to see the enthusiasm of the audience of Rimouski and the whole region.
He states that the film has already grossed half a million dollars at the box office since its release. “We just want it to continue like this,” he said.

“People are curious to see their landscapes, the people they know, because there are a lot of local people who played additional roles in the film, so it had an impact,” adds the distributor.
“It’s a feel-good film, I think people need that,” he continues. The film has a message, but also light, lightness. You leave the film with a smile on your face and I think that’s a big part of the success we’ve had so far.
“I’m confident that we will overtake Barbie at Rimouski this weekend,” believes Patrick Roy. I challenge the people of the region!
