Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Deux raisons ont attiré les cinéastes à l'Île-aux-Coudres : la langue et la pêche aux marsouins (bélugas). Mais, au travers du langage et des gestes quotidiens de la pêche, s'est révélé tout un esprit mythique où figurent les mystères de la lune, le culte des ancêtres, la puissance des marées, la conception sacrale de la tradition, un sentiment d'identification au règne animal. Les discussions, les scènes exubérantes de la mi-carême, le travail en mer au rythme de la lune et des marées font de ce film, non pas un documentaire, mais une fresque où sont décrits les motivations, les mythes, les légendes d'un peuple de la mer. |
