Two different worlds: One, a white world consisting of Québec and the other, an Indian reservation where the Innus live in. An adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Naomi Fontaine, Kuessipan is a gentle but passive-aggressive coming-of-age tale where two girls, Mikuan and Shaniss, have to navigate their future from the frozen snowscapes within their cultural border to the urban wilderness that beckons. Documentarist Myriam Verreault¡¯s debut narrative feature, carefully observes the conflicts between youthful idealism and adult responsibility, and the fury of being young and heartbroken. (Philip CHEAH)
