SYNOPSIS
A poetic and ethnographic documentary on the life of the inhabitants of Isle-aux-Coudres, rendered first by a language, green and hard, always eloquent, and then by the legendary porpoise fishing, work at sea governed by the moon and the tides. A true masterpiece of direct cinema. Pierre Perrault, Michel Brault and Marcel Carrière made this film.
