Recorded 1978.

Jimmy Quinlan is a homeless man, one of some five thousand men and women who have left their jobs and families and live in the streets and alleys in Montréal. This film, a powerful portrayal of life on skid row, tells of his agonies--his attempt to get off the bottle. It's something he's tried before, and will perhaps have to try again.
