Several Canadians of Italian descent discuss their trouble integrating into Canada and Québec. One of them, Marco Micone, is a separatist playwright and journalist who does not feel accepted as a Québécois. He says that multiculturalism is considered in Québec to be a federal strategy for diminishing the singular importance of francophone Québécois culture. He says the term "Interculturalisme" is preferred by Québec francophones.

Interweaving poetry, painting, photography, music and sculpture, it explores the relationship between the immigrant experience and the creative process, broaching issues of identity and culture that go the the core of what it means to be Canadian.
