- DirectorAriane MnouchkineStarsPhilippe CaubèreMarie-Françoise AudollentFrédéric LadonneWho was Moliere? He is known everywhere as one of the world's greatest playwrights. But who was he? Born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin in 1622, the son of a prosperous tapestry maker. His mother died when he was a boy. Growing up in the teeming streets of 17th century Paris, Jean Baptiste received a good Jesuit education and was fascinated by the street fairs and traveling carnivals that flourished in spite of the religious repression and hypocrisy of those cruel times. As a young man he joined the theatrical Bejart family to establish the Illustre-Theatre, which soon went bankrupt. The troupe reformed, found patronage, and went on the road for thirteen years, performing all over France. Poquelin developed his stagecraft adapting Commedia dell Arte plots to please brutalized peasants and cynical townspeople. He also married Madeline Bejart, the widowed daughter of the troupe's founder. Later he entered into a love affair with Mme Bejart's daughter, to the dismay of all. The troupe eventually returned to Paris and, on October 24, 1658, greatly impressed the 20-year old King Louis XIV, later to be called the Sun King. Moliere's life became bound up with the magnificent court at Versailles, and with its intrigues. He wrote, staged and acted in the plays now famous all over the world. He fought with his enemies and his friends, enjoyed success followed by failure, organized court festivities and defended himself against increasingly fanatic religious authorities. Above all, his theater was taken from life as his life was theatrical.

- StarsMarjolaine HébertGuy ProvostJean DuceppeDans une grande famille rurale contemporaine, les Jacquemin, trois générations s'affrontent. Le patriarche de 85 ans, Léandre, répugne à régler sa succession; autour de ce pilier familial, gravitent ses fils qui vivent dans l'attente, ainsi que leurs enfants qui grandissent dans la fougue de leur âge. Ce drame familial s'insère dans le quotidien de Sainte-Marie-des-Anges, une petite paroisse où couvent des conflits qui, peu à peu, éclatent au grand joue: mésententes conjugales, discordes familiales, soucis d'argent ou d'éducation des enfants.
- StarsNicole LeblancRaymond LegaultMireille ThibaultLa famille Cormoran possède une terre au bord du fleuve, dans la région du Bas Saint-Laurent. Elle habite une imposante maison qui domine les environs. En 1936, la société traverse une crise politique, économique et culturelle. Les idéologies s'affrontent et la société canadienne-française s'en ressent. Dans le microcosme de Baie-d'Esprit, un propriétaire foncier, un commerçant politicien, un industriel en devenir et un imprimeur-éditeur participent aux bouleversements de l'époque. Sans trop le savoir, ils sont de gauche ou de droite, républicains ou monarchistes, camelots du roi ou communards. Ils s'aiment, se détestent, s'allient, se combattent selon les situations quotidiennes qu'ils sont appelés à vivre, et les pressions que la société exerce sur eux.

Elle est courtisée par Joseph-Arthur Lavoie, cultivateur prospère et veuf lui aussi, mais refuse d'être infidèle à son premier mari.
