71 min, Documentary, Canada, 5.1

A goose-hunting guide since his teens, Gilles Gagné lives on l’Isle-aux-Oyes and L’Isle-aux-Grues, in the middle of the St. Lawrence River. For years, he guided Jean Paul Riopelle on hunting trips, and their adventures led to the painter’s masterpiece L’hommage à Rosa Luxemburg. Today, Gagné leads the explorations of contemporary artist Marc Séguin (the subject of Bruno Boulianne’s previous film, Bull’s eye, un peintre à l’affût). Gagné is the wise keeper of a place and a time, of memory and nature. The perfect guide for passing down knowledge and discovering eternal beauty.
