- Sophie and Mathieu, a couple in their thirties, go to Schefferville to settle the estate of Sophie's father's cottage, a former miner in this almost ghost town. There, Sophie meets up with Réjean, her uncle, also a former miner. But when a tragic incident involving Réjean occurs on the spot, with Mathieu as the only witness, the trip takes an unexpected turn. Forced to stay longer than expected while the police investigation gets underway, the couple finds itself isolated from the rest of the world, singled out, in contact for a rare time with the complex reality of the Aboriginal people. Sophie and Mathieu see their relationship in jeopardy, each taking an opposite path in their reaction to this oppressive situation, in this closed-door setting in the great outdoors.
- Nothing is too difficult or scary for Ti-Jean, a ten year old boy living on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River in Québec. Once he hears about it, he decides to travel by horseback on his faithful mount, Princess, to the land of the iron ore on the north side of the river, where he wants to work in the mines. Getting there is not quite as Ti-Jean expects, but no obstacle is too insurmountable. Along the way, he acts as a one-person cargo loader to pay for his ferry trip across the river, the ferry which he captains, and he flies an airplane. Once in Schefferville, the center of the mining country, Ti-Jean, without question, pays his penance for a wrong deed, but ultimately gets his wish by singlehandedly saving the mine from potential disaster. From there, Ti-Jean also changes the entire economic fortune of the mine for all concerned. Once his work there is done, Ti-Jean is off to his next adventure.
- -Feature documentary on mining work. This social combat film draws a parallel between the exploitation of Quebec's miners (in Canada) and mineral wealth and a similar situation in Chile. The injustices done to the men and countries concerned are denounced by René Lévesque and Salvador Allende. The minors themselves were also given the floor. The richness of others is 94 minutes of testimony from Quebec and Chile on a situation that everyone agrees to denounce.
- -TV program from Radio-Canada, broadcast in the 1960s
