Movie description:
One of the most beautifully photographed films ever made, »Mario« portrays three sensitive children who form a triangle of friendship on a magic isle.
The movie is based on the story »La Sabliere« by Claude Jasmin.
Set in the picturesque Magdalen Islands of Québec, Mario is a story of complicity between a strange and solitary ten-year-old boy, Mario, and his older brother, Simon. Withdrawn and living in a surreal world, Mario is completely devoted to Simon, for whom he would dare anything. When a charming interloper captures Simon’s affections, albeit temporarily, Mario’s love for Simon turns to jealousy and hatred. Eventually the two brothers are reconciled and together they carry out their final attack on reality, one which forces them to confront the ultimate limits of human experience.
Set during summer in the Îles-de-la-Madeleine of Quebec, Mario and Simon are two brothers living in a fishing village with their mother, who runs a grocery store, and their father, who runs a fishing business. Mario is ten years old, mute and autistic. He is withdrawn from reality and living in a surreal world that only his older brother Simon and his stuffed coyote share. Mario is very close with and deeply admires his 18 year old brother, whom he depends upon for love and attention. Simon reads Arabian Knights stories to Mario, dresses him in sheik’s clothing and they play out imaginary wars in an Arabian style fortress that they built. Everything changes when Helene, a beautiful young tourist comes between the two brothers. Simon falls in love and begins to neglect his brother to spend time with her. Mario feels rejected and discovers what hate and jealously are. He sets about a chain of events that lead to tragedy.
