Pierre Perrault and Michel Brault were attracted to Île-aux-Coudres for two reasons: the language of the people who lived on the small island and its fishermen, who had been catching the beluga whale for centuries. Uncovering a spirituality rooted in the moon and the rhythm of the tides this seminal documentary creates a fresco of the myths and legends among Québec’s traditional fishing communities. – National Film Board of Canada
