Inspired by a documentary that featured an interview with a man whose sole job was to replace all the light bulbs in an office tower, the lighthearted comedy Henri Henri concerns twenty-something Henri, an orphan raised in a convent where he was in charge of everything having to do with lights. With nowhere to go after developers purchase the convent and evict him, his personal motto, “I like to put light in people’s lives,” and the nuns’ advice, “Look for the signs,” give his life new direction, helping him find love and his missing father. The film was produced and filmed entirely in Quebec, and the screening is sponsored by the Quebec Delegation of Boston.
