The beautifully realized CONGORAMA interweaves families, fathers and sons, secrets and discoveries, unknown possibilities - and an emu. A down-on-his-luck Belgian inventor whose work never seems to pan out as expected, Michel learns from his successful but now paralyzed father that he was adopted and was actually born on a farm somewhere in Quebec. After learning his family's name is Legrand, Michel heads to Quebec in search of his biological parents, claiming he's going on business. But all he finds in the great Canadian outdoors is bad fries, bad beer, and a town full of Legroses. After a few more chance encounters he meets Louis, only to be involved in an accident that leaves Michel in possession of information that could give him the status he has always craved. Crafted with great skill and humour, CONGORAMA is a witty adventure and an impressive puzzle that explores the past and the present, with an eye on the future, in its search for identity. - Stacey Donen
