SYNOPSIS
As if it could perch on the deck of the majestic Percé Rock, a stranded stone ship, this film
takes an innovative look at a Gaspésie shaped by nature, culture and history. “Two parts
geology and one part magic,” the story focuses on the splendour of Percé, which was
inhabited by fishermen, geologists, poets and botanists before entering the history books as
a focal point of Quebec identity, around the Centre d'art and the Maison du pêcheur, 1,000
kilometres as the crow flies from Montreal. This film is an ode to the beauty and mystery of
the world seen through the eyes of filmmaker Carlos Ferrand.
