Dehors novembre is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Patrick Bouchard and released in 2005.[1] Inspired in part by the suicide of Quebec rock musician Dédé Fortin, the film depicts various characters facing mortality in a bleak cityscape to the soundtrack of "Dehors novembre", a song by Fortin's band Les Colocs which was itself inspired by the prior death of Fortin's bandmate Patrick Esposito Di Napoli.[2]
