On a cold winter day in 1940, Jules moves in with his family at the home of his uncle, mayor of a settler village in northern Quebec. Due to a rare skin disease, he has no friends. So his biggest wish is to get well. When his dog Flagrant flees into the forest, Jules has no choice but to get away from his house to find him. Along the way, he meets Asha, a mysterious indigenous girl. Together, they will venture to the other side of the forest, where nature is full of life and secrets.

« A marvelous quest that celebrates openness, childhood and nature. A beautiful inspiring film for young and old. »
★★★ 1/2 – LE DEVOIR

« The verdant forest seems almost magical through the lens of Sophie Farkas Bolla. But beyond the beauty of nature, it is above all that of childhood that the filmmaker succeeds brilliantly in highlighting. »
