Over a century and a half ago in Lac-Saint-Jean, major forest fires helped create fertile ground for the legendary presence of blueberries. Today, the region faces many challenges, including climate change, the modernization of agricultural models, and economic conditions. Through different stories and aspirations that come together and interact, this ensemble film reveals the intricate ties of a diverse community united around this iconic fruit of the region. This sensitive and skilfully constructed film infuses a note of optimism without denying current and future challenges thanks to a rich sound design in which music serves as a meeting point. (HSB)
