SYNOPSIS

For over 40 years, Jacques Duhoux, expedition pioneer in northern Quebec, has lived alone in the Uapishka(Groulx) Mountains. Now at 85 years old, he continues to live off the grid, despite the inevitable decline that comes with age. A tribute to a true monument of northern exploration, Jacques exposes the delicate balance between nature, aging, and the search for freedom. 

NOTE

[Lysandre Leduc Boudreau, Director​]

I wanted to talk about dreams and autonomy. Does true wealth consist in being well alone, having space and silence? Does freedom consist in possessing time?
