Cheech is a Canadian comedy-drama film, released in 2006. It was directed by Patrice Sauvé (his feature film directorial debut) and written by François Létourneau based on his own prior stage play Cheech, ou Les hommes de Chrysler sont en ville.

Plot

Ron (Patrice Robitaille) runs an escort service in a rundown part of Montreal. His murder leads to suspicion of a number of suspects. They include Cheech, the rival escort agency owner, and Stephanie, a prostitute who wants to leave the business. The film captures a day in the life of six people whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Their quest for happiness will reveal each of them to one another in ways they never dreamed of.
