In Decline

The arrival of an eccentric Rita Melanson propels her once-picturesque Acadian hometown into action when she accidentally buys both the church and the rectory. She finds herself forced to transform her newly acquired property into a profitable business with the hope of selling it. Easier said than done. Rita must contend with Lomer, her jilted ex-fiance-turned-town-mayor, looming overhead. Thankfully, she has allies: cousin Ferraille, a jack of all trades, best friend Yolande, a reluctant farmer, and Zoël, a young bohemian Québécois. Surrounded by an array of impulsive, poorly planned schemes, our merry band attempt to attract tourism and build a company to help inject new economic growth in their hometown. Tourists will definitely get their money's worth when they enter their « little Acadian cousins' » quirky, rural world. Rita Melanson's wondrous and adventurous universe welcomes you.
