With great authenticity and spontaneity, Les raquetteurs records the celebration and ritual surrounding a snowshoe competition in Sherbrooke in the late 1950s.

Nothing escapes the probing camera in this candid eye view of professional wrestling at the Montréal Forum where some of the biggest bouts are staged, and in the back-street wrestling parlors where the warriors practice their art. 

Filmed at a summer cottage outside Montréal, The End of Summer briefly penetrates the charmed world of the adolescent with the poignant awareness that nothing will ever be the same after these idle days at the lake. Film description courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.
