Theresa Johnson is a single mother, who was abandoned by her unemployed husband some time after her daughter, Hillary, was born. The two live in a cramped apartment in the inner-city, within walking distance to Hillary's school and Theresa's workplace. The occupants of the apartment complex Theresa and her daughter live in are all notified of their eviction, as the land is being sold and the apartments are to be demolished. Theresa has nowhere to go. Theresa clocks out of work early to look for a place for her and her daughter to live, but is fired the next day for leaving early. The two go from homeless shelter to homeless shelter, trying to find a place to stay. Often they sleep on the streets. At one shelter Theresa meets outreach worker Calvin Reed (Dorian Harewood), who finds another place for Theresa to stay, while she receives welfare aid. The house is filthy and infested with rats. Theresa and Hillary settle into their new home, and the life of their neighboring family, the Watkins, is explored.

The film opens in a puppet theater, where three audience members—a military officer, a taxi driver, and a woman on a shopping trip—discover they are being depicted as marionette caricatures against a backdrop of newsreel footage from the 1920s through the 1950s. They find themselves trapped backstage amidst bizarre circumstances ... the puppet master is found dead above the stage, a gigantic plaster hand drops from the ceiling to the floor, and a deafening siren blares endlessly. The trio escapes from the theater to a beach, where the military officer locates the siren and kicks it, causing it to blow up.

Valérie is the story of a comely young woman (Danielle Ouimet) who, upon leaving a convent with the leader of a motorcycle gang, discovers the hippy culture of Montreal and turns to prostitution. This improbable storyline, made famous by the frank display of nudity and sexuality, came from a culture that was still labouring under a strong sense of Catholic guilt. It was the first of a group of films known as maple-syrup porn and it turned an unprecedented gross of over a million, making it the top domestic box office film of its time.

Jean-Louis Cartier, modeste employé français des établissements Golden Trust, quitte le Québec en attelage auto-caravane, accompagné de sa femme et de ses deux fils, pour se rendre à Vancouver où il vient d'être promu au siège de sa société. Les Cartier s'aventurent avec quelques craintes sur le territoire Ouest canadien qui leur est inconnu, d'autant plus qu'ils ne parlent pas un traître mot d'anglais. Il leur arrive plusieurs mésaventures au point d'être maintes fois sur le point de rebrousser chemin. Ils parviennent tant bien que mal à Vancouver, et plutôt mal puisqu'ils y font leur entrée sur le toit de leur caravane qui dérive au fil du fleuve où elle est tombée. À leur grand étonnement, ils sont accueillis somptueusement par la Golden Trust qui les confond avec des notables français. Finalement, et bien contents, les Cartier réintégreront le Québec qu'ils n'auraient jamais dû quitter.
