An Innu writer from Uashat writes a long letter to Shuni, a Québécoise who has come to her community to help the Innu. She calls up history and the faces of her mother, father and grandmother, and also speaks to her own son, Petit ours. The landscapes of Uashat pass by, fragmented and radiant. She tells of the doubt that undermines the hearts of the colonized and the impossible struggle to be oneself, of a people shaped by traditions, wounds and ideals beyond the statistics, and reaches out toward a possible friendship.
