The film includes interviews with English-speaking professionals and students who are preparing to leave Montreal, joining an exodus of 300,000[1] anglophones that left the province in the last two decades.
Frequently, the lack of a Francophone background is cited as an obstacle for anglophones, even for those who are bilingual.
Weintraub also looks at the role that the Office québécois de la langue française plays in making anglophone businesses comply with language laws, calling for the use of French language signage instead of English.
The film also addresses key moments of significance to the Anglo community in Montreal, such as the demolition of the Van Horne Mansion in 1973.
Weintraub also displays the significant role that Anglo business has played in cultivating Montreal's overseas image as a "North American Paris."
