S’abandonner au sauvage
In an ever faster, hectic and controlled world, seclusion in nature is the greatest privilege.
Synopsis
A canoe journey in total wilderness : 25 days along a wild river of 500 km. Turning back to the rhythm of nature, in the boreal forest of the Canadian Far North.
"Before traveling the Far North, I couldn't imagine that such wild, vast, and untouched territories still existed. Places devoid of any human presence, where only the traces of moose, bears, and wolves are revealed. What remains is a memory of a final freedom, disconnected from the world, experiencing moments of silence around campfires."
