The title refers to a flight number of a French engineer who arrives in Montreal only to find that the man he’s supposed to meet isn’t in his office. After a bus ride through the city he wanders the streets to kill time, crossing paths with a young girl, striking up a potential romance, and diving into Montreal culture ranging from bowling alleys to a “ye ye” performance in Arab drag to a quirky shooting gallery and even a moment of unexpected tragedy.Read More »
