Drama Series

l'échappée

168 x 60 minutes (7 seasons)

L’Échappée keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with a number of powerful storylines revolving around the small municipality of Sainte-Alice-de-Rimouski. We discover this idyllic community where no one is a stranger and everyone is very talented at keeping up appearances against the background of the very emotional and intense world of youth centres.
