Tourné au Québec dans les Laurentides.
Near the border between Ontario and Quebec, Joel (Dakota Daulby, LONGLEGS) works in the construction industry. He has a healthy relationship with his partner (Christie Burke, ETERNITY), his mother (Maxim Roy, SHORESY), and his grandmother (France Castel, LES FURIES). The only stain on this picture is his father, Bodo (Emmanuel Bilodeau, CURLING), who has been struggling with a fentanyl addiction for years. He is unable to hold down a job, turns every place he ends up in into a slovenly dive, and is a potential danger to himself and others. Despite everything, Joel continues to try to help him, telling himself that if he loves his father enough, he will eventually manage to get the man’s life back on track.
“Inspirée d’une histoire vraie, ‘Tight Lettuce’ est une comédie noire qui raconte l’amour inébranlable de Joel (Dakota Daulby) pour son père, Bodo (Emmanuel Bilodeau), qui lutte contre une dépendance à l’héroïne et aufentanyl. Malgré le déni de Bodo et le chaos que sa dépendance entraîne, Joel documente la lutte de son père, dans l’espoir d’inspirer le changement. Avec leur lien qui s’approfondit, Joel peut choisir d’affronter son père ou de chérir le temps qu’il leur reste ensemble.”

“A novel, more intimately Canadian character-driven narrative by way of a multi-generational family-on-hold tragicomedy. … Achieves a heartbreaking melancholy via the unrestrained joy and laughter, against the stark failures of its central character.” (Screen Anarchy)
“The performances here are spot on, but it’s the rich detail that really brings it to life.” (Eye For Film)
““Harrison Houde’s “Tight Lettuce” digs into addiction and family ties with a mix of humor and devastation.” (IndieWire)
“Funny, horrifying, touching, and above all, deeply human.” (Fantasia International FilmFestival 2026, Official Selection)A movie co-written and co-directed by Alexandre Trudeau and James McLellan, Manitoba, 2025, 92 min, avec Roy Dupuis, Malia Baker, Catherine Bérubé. In English w French subt
