What do you drink when you're lonely? What do you sing when the bar gets loud? What do you say when you've had too much?
This episode is a tavern crawl across the francophone world. A drunk man swears down the phone on Valentine's Day that he's not drunk anymore. A woman in a cigar lounge sips scotch like it's the only thing that understands her. A punk band from Paris turns the drinks cabinet into fake military divisions. A Belgian brass band from Brussels plays New Orleans jazz over bagpipes and bombard. A rapper from the Congo flows about mint and sugar like they're a love story. A Quebec hockey captain turned singer screams about beer like it's poetry.
Then it gets tender. A tavern in Quebec where the Cowboys Fringants know everyone by name. A traditional folk song about kissing the cook in a dark corner on New Year's. A saxophone player from Marseille spilling tea about love being war. A Breton rock band mixing rock with bagpipes, singing rum and women like it's an anthem that sold 750,000 copies in 1988.
Some songs are silly on purpose. Some are lonely. Some are celebrations. All of them know what a drink tastes like when you need it most.
