Normand Desjardins dramatizes the life story of Patrick Amiot and Brigitte Laurent in a fictional style yet manages (in a documentary manner) to reveal the creative process that produced several of their sculptures.

Docu-style, the film follows the two artists through their daily lives, the source of their creative inspiration. We get glimpses of the artist quarter of Montreal, their studio and the loft where they live.

Interviews are conducted by a boorish, surprised Robin (yes, half of that Dynamic Duo; albeit somewhat “improved” by the artists) who, you guessed it, is looking for Batman. Batman, however, has disappeared, following an argument and subsequent car crash in the Batmobile right in front of the artist’s studio.

Through Robin’s eyes and ears we see the artists at work and listen to their observations about their work and lives. In the process we witness their sculptures as they are born and come to life.

“It’s not hard to understand why Amiot’s work is so popular. Even his most poignant pieces, scenes of street life in working-class Montreal, radiate happiness, good humor, and liveliness.”
