Henri Painchaud is a proud Madelinot from Havre-Aubert, a lover of history and encyclopedias who promised himself from childhood that one day he would build a trebuchet, a medieval weapon of war.
Le Patenteux is an immersion into the routine of a man who never dreamed of greatness, but who nevertheless achieves great things.
Le Patenteux is the first film by sound documentarian Maude Petel-Légaré, produced thanks to the Kinomada Short Film Laboratory, 29th stopover on the Magdalen Islands in October 2024.
