‘“Set in Kuujjuaq after the Second World War, the film follows Elsa… a young Inuk woman whose life takes a sudden turn… As she comes across social norms introduced by colonizers and her rebellious son, Elsa ultimately finds peace in her life’s ever winding course.” – Nation Magazine‘

‘“With charming period detail, the film… captures a pivotal time in Inuit history, when people were torn between the old ways and the new, and when white culture was beginning to dominate.” – Jill Wilson, Winnipeg Free Press‘

‘“Adapté du roman éponyme de Gabrielle Roy, le film suit le parcours d’une jeune femme inuite indépendante se trouvant au carrefour de la modernité et de la tradition… admirative devant la majesté indomptable de sa région, elle découvre dans cette source d’inspiration un moyen d’avancer par ses propres moyens.” – Charles‑Henri Ramond, Films du Québec‘
