Noël à l’Île aux Grues

A handful of islanders have to take the ice canoe to cross the 4 to 5 miles of half-frozen river that separate them from Montmagny. On Christmas Eve, they go shopping ashore and return to their boat too late. After many difficulties, they spend the night among the ice, while on the Island, their worried families celebrate New Year's Eve without them. At daybreak, the men find their families. We're celebrating, it's Christmas.
