In Montreal, deep within the suffocating universe of the depressed Mile-End District, Leo Lozeau, a member of a disturbing schizophrenia-ridden family leads his distressing existence. The young man, in an attempt to escape from the harsh everyday reality that torments him, builds a delirium which can paradoxically keep him free from so much madness. The denial of his origins will be such that he will even make up a new freedom, becoming the Italianised Léolo Lozone.
