Lafontaine Park is the lung of Montréal, one that also lets the spirit breathe. It is the countryside, gentle and soothing, for those who have none. It is a gathering place, brimming with life, where people feel less lonely.

A man comes to commune with Krishna on his little keyboard, another to declare his love to the trees. A woman writes of joy and heartbreak, another cannot walk but dreams of teaching the ducks to fly. A veritable community where philosopher-kings jog beside teenage sociologists, a world peopled with musicians who improvise, sing Prévert songs, sing life itself.

Lafontaine Park is that attentive ear, the pat on the shoulder, a voice. A place that speaks, listens and consoles. Filmed over four seasons, City Park, A Little Music for the Soul is a poetic essay that conveys the music of the park and of those who frequent it.
