Short documentary film that paints an intimate portrait of the florist Pierre-André Jacob who was born in the Hochelaga neighbourhood (Montréal) in the 1950s. He started out working at Fleuriste Maisonneuve when he was still a teenager. For more than five decades, he carefully crafted floral arrangements to mark the milestones in the lives of local residents. In 2021, Pierre-André closed up shop and left the neighbourhood, taking with him an intangible heritage of so many memories. 

Produced as part of the exhibition HOCHELAGA-EVOLVING MONTREAL, presented at the McCord Stewart Museum in 2023.
