This film is one of the best ever made.

I don't know whether you already found out, but I liked it too, so I listened hard for the lyrics, and found that it's called "The Great Escape", originally by Patrick Watson, and covered here by Élie Dupuis, one of the actors in the film. His voice is amazing. There's a video of him singing this song at /watch?v=vUp2YnsTSmQ and I recommend watching the other videos on that FriendsOfElie account, if you like this song.
