The Merry World of Leopold Z

"Leopold Z. has a busy day ahead... clearing snow, delivering Christmas presents, and trying to make ends meet. A comedy of life and survival in a snowy Montreal."

On Christmas Eve, snowplow driver Leo races to clear the streets of Montreal and complete his holiday shopping in time for midnight Mass. The feature directorial debut of celebrated filmmaker Gilles Carle (The Death of a Lumberjack), The Merry World of Leopold Z is an offbeat holiday treat that builds to a disarmingly resonant conclusion.
