Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
喜欢电影里大家一起吃东西的场景，艰苦但是温馨，特别是孩子们吃的太香了，可爱又心酸
希望能出第二部，详细的讲述一下男女主婚后的日子以及藏区小学一点点建立起来的过程
韩老师奉献了一辈子，最后居然没有留下一个孩子，这也算是一个遗憾吧
好喜欢韩松和梅朵这对，郎才女貌特别般配，要是感情戏在多一点就更好了
说实话，曾经也有想过去支教这样的想法，不过我可能真的吃不了这样的苦
对于这部电影期待很久了，草原的寂静因为支教老师的到来变得好生热闹，剧情层层递进，跌宕起伏，人物刻画细腻，情感真实。朗措大哥牺牲自己的壮举、韩松母亲的大爱、孩子们对老师的爱都令人动容……看完后觉得期待好像得到了回应！
很有意义的电影，了解了藏区风情和支教的不容易，原来还有那么多孩子渴望学习却又那么难
两个人在一起生活了一辈子，男主角没能给女主买一件新衣服，也许这是他们的大爱吧，不过还是有一点不能理解
不错的片子，有很多地方不尽人意但大致看下来还是很舒心的，每一个平凡人都在努力的燃烧自己。
看完很感动，现在的城市生活太嘈杂，却很少有人能够静下心去到一些偏远的地方生存，韩松虽然进入藏区，途中的种种困难很难不令人放弃，但是藏区的人民之淳朴，待人之真诚。希望有越来越多的人可以看到，可以重视教育资源不均的问题，可以帮助他们，可以帮助他们的未来。他们的内心是干净的，是充满对未来无限憧憬的。
藏区支教主题永远感人，开头小韩老师的独白说支教是为了镀金，如此功利性的词语我以为是个伏笔会有反转，没想到剧情发展依然一同此类电影路线般朴实。电影里每个人物都非常出彩，特色鲜明。除了主旋律也不失为一部旅游风光片，草原真美啊。
其实中途的盗猎者和学生牺牲片段并不突兀，正是为了将他们的善良和正直保存并传承下去，政府的扶持和帮助才有了意义。
若是上无老母，下无妻儿，谁会不愿意燃烧自己的青春呢，支教很好，可是压力太大了，没有金钱的维持，家庭都要垮掉，但是会尽我所能帮助山区孩子及老师
支教故事题材电影并不少，这部讲的是去藏区。开头至韩松决定留下，韩松与梅朵成婚，剧情到这都是还可以接受的。成婚后的时间线就飞得太快以至于有点乱了，也没有故事性可言了 。所以最后结局虽然猜到韩松老师会奉献出生命，但没有泪目。
牺牲和奉献是很伟大让人敬佩，但是感觉挺多角色其实没必要领盒饭的，大哥没必要死吧
艺术来源于生活，然而现在人们不是那种陶冶情操的时代了，所以比起文艺片我更喜欢喜剧
很感人。一定要有一个既有学识又有爱心的人留下来，才能让更多藏区孩子走出去。
本以为男女主结婚故事就结束了，没想到他俩居然用一辈子来养育孩子们，太伟大了！
给我的感觉就是，大家都很秉持着孩子是花朵是未来信念，为之付出，让他们获得知识，很正能量了
感觉现在的社会，很少有像韩老师这样无私奉献的人了。虽然我不太支持他没有在母亲生命的最后关头陪伴很久这样的做法
