Description
Nish: Innu word meaning two. This word is also closely linked to the way of being indigenous in all its singularity. Léon and Eloïse have an unusual life. First, they are twins. Living as a double, as a teenager, is not always easy. In Matimekush, an Innu community in Northern Quebec, their daily lives will be turned upside down forever. A mysterious disappearance in the village will lead them to understand the fragility that surrounds them, the territory and its dangers. While doing a project for school, Eloïse makes a most disturbing discovery. Through discussions with her kukum, she lifts the veil on the history of her people: their victories, but also their lost battles. Eloïse and her two best friends will do everything to make these injustices known. Léon, for his part, spends all his free time playing hockey. However, his community does not have enough players to allow him to flourish in a high-level league. How can he prove to everyone that he has the talent of a great player? The twins' lives are turned upside down when their father learns that he has a serious illness and must seek treatment in Quebec City, far, far away from his family: 942 kilometers to the south, to be exact. Will Léon and Eloïse be able to unite to get through this ordeal?
