Quebec. The Wemotaci Amerindian Reservation. 1,500 inhabitants. Charles Coocoo struggles daily to preserve the traditions and culture of his people: the Attikamekws. But what does the word mean: "Attikamekw"? What does this identity imply? Survival means becoming Canadian. Becoming Canadian means betraying one’s roots. The downhill course of a tribe that has been able to maintain its language and music, but has lost most of its bearings. 80% of the forest has been destroyed, many of the young people commit, two whole generations try to dress the deep wounds inflicted in the Catholic boarding schools of their childhood. Seen through the alert eyes of their spiritual guide, Charles Coocoo, this film tells the story of a people on the verge of dying out. Beyond any received notions. Beyond the blurred mirror of the West.
