The first of a 3-part documentary about the exodus of Anglophones from Quebec, as a result of the threat of separation from Canada. This first part is seen through the eyes of 6 friends who left Montreal in the 70's, after the separatist Parti Quebecois first came to power in the province, and the threat of separation for them became very real. They talk about the October crisis, feeling alienated and as they saw it, the limited opportunities for English speakers in Montreal.
