Made in
1993, it is the third
feature film directed by
Canadian Denys Arcand, and his first in
English. It is an adaptation of the stage script "
Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love" written by
Brad Fraser in
1991.
It is about people in their late twenties who have no family, and no place in the world. They live in mediocrity, seeking belonging. Oh, and there is a serial killer who collects the earrings of his victims.
