Film Synopsis

In the middle of the 18th century, at the time when France is gradually letting go of Canada, an adventurer named François falls madly in love with the beautiful Marie-Loup.  In the midst of plots and betrayals, these two try to survive and love each other with a pure passion.  Confronted with the cowardice of men, only the strength of their feelings for one another will allow them to triumph.
