Leaving soon

Ce documentaire du cinéaste Hyacinthe Combary fait le lien entre les cultures africaine et autochtone. Dans un monde où valeurs et traditions tendent à disparaître, un immigrant québécois tente de renouer avec la tradition de son ethnie, les Gourmantchés. Il suivra la piste autochtone du Québec. À partir de Montréal, son film nous mènera dans des réserves autochtones, au cœur de la tradition animiste de la nation attikamek. Un point de vue personnel sur ce retour aux sources. Un voyage au sens propre et figuré au cœur de la forêt, de la mémoire et des traditions.
