The Salesman

In a poignant exploration of identity and purpose, "The Salesman" (2011) is a deeply human drama that delves into the life of a 67-year-old car salesman in a fading Quebec town, where an aging man's sense of self is put to the test by the harsh realities of a declining economy. Shot against the backdrop of a small city in the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, the film shines with a masterful central performance by Gilbert Sicotte as it grapples with the profound meaning of life at its most existential level.
