Disappearances plot
"The past is never dead, it's not even past."
Place of performance: The beautiful landscapes of Vermont, near the border with Canada in the Americas during Prohibition in 1932 and just before the repeal of that law in 1933 when alcoholic drinks were allowed again. Quebec Bill Bohomme (Kris Kristofferson) is a strong intriguer, a dreamer and an optimist, desperate for money when the fast approaching winter threatens his livestock when the family barn goes down in fire. As a result, he resorts to whiskey smuggling, a popular activity in the Prohibition years. On his canoe trip to Canada, he takes his son, 15-year-old Wild Bill (Charlie McDermott). Local smuggler Henry Coville (Gary Farmer) and Rat Kinneson (William Sanderson), an incorrigible con man, are also on board. For Wild Bill, it's an opportunity to grow up and reveal the mysterious secret of his father's family history. It will be an unforgettable journey through the Canadian wilderness. It will also be four days of wonder at the past that will reveal itself to them during this journey. Based on the novel by Howard Frank Mosher.
