In the stark Québec winter, ice floes cover the St. Lawrence River. Otherworldly, determined silhouettes appear and we fall into the cadence of ice canoes rowing into an unfathomable landscape. Producing sensations as extreme as the surroundings, the voyage immerses us in the elements and confounds us with a close focus on astonishing, minute details.
