Six months later, haunted by her memory, Rex goes to Louisiana to find Paula. To defeat a rival, he becomes a human cannonball at the Cirque du Bonheur where Paula works. 1997: 29 years later, the autobiographic movie of his tragic love with Paula Paul is played at the Crémazie cinema. <1h 34mn>Language:FrançaisNotes:Genre:DRAMADetailed holdings information: -
