Dodging the Clock (fr|Horloge biologique, lit. "Biological Clock") is a Canadian comedy-drama film, directed by Ricardo Trogi and released in 2005.[1]
The film stars Patrice Robitaille, Pierre-François Legendre and Jean-Philippe Pearson as Fred, Paul and Sébastien, three friends who are in various stages of coming to terms with, or rejecting, the urge to settle down and become fathers.[2] Fred is reacting with fear to his girlfriend Marie (Geneviève Alarie) expressing her desire to get pregnant, and secretly slipping contraceptive pills into her daily orange juice to prevent it; Paul is ambivalent about the current pregnancy of his girlfriend Isabelle (Catherine Proulx-Lemay); Sébastien is already a dad, but is chafing at the way the demands of fatherhood conflict with his desire to hang out and do guy things with his friends.[3]
In December 2005, it was named to the Toronto International Film Festival's annual Canada's Top Ten list of the year's best films.[4]
