Synopsis

SEDUCING DOCTOR LEWIS is a beguiling story of a ragtag fishing community in the little harbour village of St-Marie-La-Mauderneon on a tiny, impoverished island who must persuade a young Montreal-based doctor Christopher Lewis (David Boutin) to live in their town in order to get a much-needed new factory.

Over a one-month trial period, the villagers try to satisfy his every need and convince him that their town offers all the charms of a thriving metropolis. Led by their mayor, Germain Lesage (Raymond Bouchard), the villagers rise to the challenge with good-hearted duplicity. However, as their deception continues, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain.

Just as Doctor Lewis begins to respond to the simple “authenticity” of the village, the question arises: how will he feel when he finds out it’s based on lies?

The directorial debut of Jean-François Pouliot, SEDUCING DOCTOR LEWIS is a charming and funny tale, as well as a wry meditation on truth and falsehood.
