Taking their cues from investigative journalism, the first two episodes shed light on the love story behind Paul-Émile Borduas's paintings Les Pylônes de la porte and Boucle perdue as well as a host of other secrets. Episodes 3 and 4 focus on the efforts of Anne-Marie Bouchard, the MNBAQ's Curator of Modern Art, to document the life and career of Edith S. Watson, an under-appreciated Canadian photographer.
