Five hours from Montreal, at the end of an endless road, is a lake, a favorite haunt of northern ospreys. The Lac Villiers Foundation, managed by a small family whose destiny is punctuated by the peace of the immensity of the boreal and by the demands of a life on the fringes of civilization, has set up its quarters there. This film plunges into his world and shares his way of life which, like ospreys, is on the verge of extinction.
