Description du film [en anglais] :
« In 1994 three teenagers from the Northern communities of Fermont, Quebec and Labrador City took a trip across Canada that ended with them taking their own lives in a rented storage locker on the outskirts of Vancouver. Their extraordinary suicide pact captured the imagination of the Canadian press who linked the boys' deaths to the glamourized suicide of Nirvana rock star Kurt Cobain. Deeply personal yet stripped of sensationalism, this film rejects such a simplistic correlation. Using the young mens' 'travel diary' as a base, director Sylvie Van Brabant, reexamines the boys' motivations and poses a larger social question: has suicide become a viable option for an entire generation of teenagers 'programmed to explode'? »
