As a feature film spinoff of the popular 2002 French Canadian television series of the same name, the ci-fi comedy feature Dans une galaxie près de chez vous (AKA In a Galaxy Close To You...) unfolds in the year 2034, when the Earth's ozone layer has been completely destroyed by industrial gases and carbon dioxide. As the Earth buckles beneath the oppressive weight of the sun, the Canadian government soon deems it necessary to find a new planet for 6,000,000 earthlings to colonize. It thus sends a spaceship, the Romano Fafard up into orbit, piloted by captain, Charles Patenaude (Guy Jodoin) and his crew; they intend to journey to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, and to find a hospitable planet "where mankind has never set foot." This leads them to a number of increasingly strange and eccentric interstellar locales. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Director Louis Belanger follows up his debut feature Post Mortem with this introspective, low key, working-class comedy drama concerning relationships, responsibility, and father-son bonding. Affectionately referred to as "The Boss" by his friends, Mr. Brochu (Serge Theriault) has been running the full-service Champlain gas station with the help of his family for the past 15 years. Though his wife is long gone and he is beginning to suffer the effects of Parkinson's disease, he maintains the store well until his sons begin to express aspirations outside of the family business. An aspiring photographer, Rejean (Sebastien Delorme) makes way for Germany when he hears that the Berlin Wall is about to fall, and Guy (Danny Gilmore) seems to be more interested in developing his blues band than maintaining the pumps. At least young Alain (Maxime Dumontier) shows some interest in carrying on tradition, though, at age 14, he's hardly ready to take on all of the adult responsibilities that the job entails. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
