As it shapes at the end of the 19th century, history of baseball tells about the transformation of pastures and mentalities in North America. Slow and repetitive, the game gives pride to daydreaming and boasting. Full-bodied and mannered, it invokes the expanse of a new continent at the same time as it recalls its British origins. Filmed at the Victoria Stadium in Quebec and developed with the help of sports columnist Jean Dion, Temps morte wanders to better examine the state of baseball in French America: its particularities, its rules, its rites. The film only has a french version.
