With the first manned mission to Mars as its backdrop, "Mars et Avril" follows three musical geniuses: Jacob Obus (Jacques Languirand), an aging jazz musician and legendary lothario; Eugene Spaak (veteran film and theatre director Robert Lepage), a late technological wizard who lives on in a cybernetic body; and Arthur (Paul Ahmarani), who builds instruments modeled after female bodies.
