Oh sirop

Oh sirop is a documentary film directed by Marie Côté.

Sugaring time marks the end of the Quebec winter, and the traditions associated with this highlight of the year are centered around the sugar shack. The production of maple syrup, as much as the gatherings it causes, has been anchored in Quebec culture for hundreds of years, and the transmission of the know-how it requires is more often than not a story of family. Our meeting with 5 Quebec families producing maple syrup, professionally or artisanally, highlights this tradition which is still evident and lived today. From tapping trees to manufacturing maple products, Oh Sirop is interested in maple growing practices that are part of history, which are passed down and adapted from generation to generation.
