North of the 51st parallel, where the dense boreal forest opens onto an Arctic island, the snow-capped peaks of the Uapishka Mountains watch over the Nitassinan of Pessamit. In the depths of winter, a group of Innu and non-indigenous adventurers attempt to cross this vast mountain range on snowshoes, in complete autonomy. Confronted with the immensity of the territory, the rigours of the northern climate and the impetuous breath of the tundra, they discover themselves in a new way, make friends and unite to better chart their course. As the miles go by, the adventure reveals a space for encounters, sharing and reconciliation.
