Wiki.

Les Pays d'en haut (The Upper Countries) is a Canadian television drama series, which aired on Ici Radio-Canada Télé from 2016 to 2021. The second television adaptation of Claude-Henri Grignon's 1933 novel Un Homme et son péché following the long-running Les Belles Histoires des pays d'en haut in the 1950s and 1960s, the series is a historical drama set in the Laurentides region of Quebec in the 1880s.The series centres on Séraphin Poudrier (Vincent Leclerc), the mayor of the village of Sainte-Adèle, and his wife Donalda Laloge (Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse); Donalda, who was married off to Séraphin as payment for a family debt but does not love him, is also having an affair with Alexis Labranche (Maxime Le Flaguais). Antoine Labelle (Antoine Bertrand), the Roman Catholic priest who led the settlement of the Laurentians, is also a principal character.

As in the original series, it delves into the broader community and dramatizes the historical settlement of the region; according to series creator Gilles Desjardins, his interest in remaking the series stemmed from a desire to explore aspects of the story that Grignon could not have depicted on television in his era, including more explicit and graphic sexuality and exploration of the darker aspects of the region's history, such as social unrest and rebellion against the power of the Catholic church. For instance, one storyline centred on a lesbian relationship between Donatienne (Kim Despatis) and Pâquerette (Romane Denis), who eventually left to escape the moral judgement of the community.Other members of the cast included Roger Léger, Julie LeBreton, Paul Doucet, Michel Charette, Pierre Mailloux, Madeleine Péloquin, Marie-Ève Milot, Rémi-Pierre Paquin, Anne-Élisabeth Bossé, Mario Jean, Jacques Allard, David La Haye, David Boutin, Claude Despins and Julien Poulin.
