As they attempt to travel from southern Quebec to its northernmost point by bike and ski, adventurers Samuel Lalande-Markon and Simon-Pierre Goneau explore not only the frozen immensity of the territory, but also the complex relationship its inhabitants have with it. Their journey first takes them along the great northern highways, built to facilitate access to natural resources, then into the white expanses of Eeyou Istchee and Nunavik, where they meet members of the Cree and Inuit communities. Over the course of their nearly 3,000-km expedition, the country reveals itself in all its splendor, gradually becoming less abstract and more real.
