Description
Sam lives with his mother in a Native community in the Abitibi region. His girlfriend, Migona - a student living in a community near Québec City - is a 10-hour-drive away. The young Native decides to visit his girlfriend. Along the way he meets Tania, a young Russian, and decides to accompany her in her flight across a terrain devoid of navigable roads…
