The action takes place during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day in a period just before the Asbestos Strike of 1949 and nearly a decade before the beginning of the Quiet Revolution that turned Quebec from a conservative\, church-dominated province\, with a deadly asbestos mining industry largely in the hands of English-speaking outsiders\, to a secular social democracy tending toward separatism. \nAlthough it is not well known in this country\, Mon Oncle Antoine is listed as the greatest Canadian film of all times in a number of polls\, including three of the Sight and Sound polls\, and has won a number of Canadian and international awards. Roger Ebert included it on his 2008 list of the greatest movies.
