You Are Warm, You Are Warm

You Are Warm, You Are Warm (French: Tu brûles... tu brûles..., lit. "You Are Burning, You Are Burning") is a Canadian drama film, directed by Jean-Guy Noël and released in 1973.[1] The film stars Gabriel Arcand as Gabriel, a young man who grew up as the son of a firefighter (Guy L'Écuyer) in a small town in Quebec, but rejects the social expectation that he will follow his father into the same profession, and starts living as a virtual hermit in the forest until moving to Montreal in search of something more for himself.[2]
