Summary
Reflecting our society, the world of junior hockey seems more and more obsessed with competition, and the players and managers of the Drakkar team of Baie-Comeau are no exception. Filmed in the "direct cinema" tradition, Junior takes in one complete season, recording the fascinating behind-the-scenes life of this tough and exacting environment. Filmed at a steady pace, this documentary shows no scenes of hockey being played, yet proves that reality is not less exciting than fiction. Trainers, shareholders, agents, recruiters, parents: all eyes are fixed on these young players who at the age of 16 are already gambling with their future. Junior evocatively and sensitively paints a larger-than-life portrait of a sports world that's both pitiless and very human. -- back cover
