Plot Summary
The film follows the life of a trapper, Claude (Normand Brathwaite), who has lived alone in the wilderness for decades, far removed from modern society. He is a man of few words, relying on his deep knowledge of the land, the animals, and the old traditions of trapping to survive. His daily existence is a series of repetitive but essential tasks, from setting traps and hunting for food to maintaining his cabin in the midst of the harsh and unforgiving environment. He has learned to live in harmony with nature, accepting its rhythms and rules, no matter how difficult or merciless they may be.
