Synopse

An unusual film about a group of city dwellers who go moose hunting. Their base is a log cabin in the forests of Québec. This is where the human pack forms, led by the posers, big-mouths and jokers. From here, the men undertake forays into the wilderness by boat and on foot. The film makes clear what it's all about for these leisuretime hunters and gatherers: a test of strength with nature and beast, finding their own limits and being able to forget their own mortality through the animal's death. Adventure and, in one word: fun.
