Ce film raconte l'histoire d'un pacte entre un photographe et un romancier. Le premier doit, pendant un an, prendre a huit heures précises le matin, la photo d'un coin de rue de quartier populaire. Le second s'inspirant des photos voudrait bâtir un roman. Cette toile de fond est l'occasion pour les réalisateurs de brosser un tableau de deux hommes à la fin de la trentaine aux prises avec les joies et misères de leur condition.
Every morning, at eight o'clock precisely, for a year straight, Jean-Pierre photographs the same street corner of a popular Montreal neighborhood: a snack bar, a bus stop, a young maple smothered by concrete and banal but unique activity of everyday life. Inspired by these photos, and without ever having seen the real street corner, Marc wrote the novel. Little by little, through these photos and this novel, the personalities of Marc and Jean-Pierre unveil themselves. The banality of the corner of the street, betrayed by the staging of one, will be transformed by the fantasies of the other. A story both funny and dramatic, which follows the highs and lows of creation and merges with that of two men who are having a hard time adjusting to being their thirties as well as the trials and tribulations of their love lives.
