In eastern Quebec north of the 51st parallel, where the dense boreal forest opens onto an arctic islet, the snow-capped peaks of the Uapishka Mountains watch over the Nitassinan, ancestral lands of Pessamit. In the heart of winter, a group of Innu and non-Innu adventurers attempt to cross this vast mountain range on snowshoes, completely autonomously. Confronted with the immensity of the territory, the rigors of the northern climate, and the impetuous breath of the tundra, they discover each other in a new way, form friendships, and unite to better chart their course. As the kilometers pass, the adventure reveals a space for encounter, sharing, and reconciliation.

Film is in French and Innu with English subtitles.
