Documentaire poétique et ethnographique sur la vie des habitants de l'Isle-aux-Coudres rendue d'abord par une langue, verte et dure, toujours éloquente, puis par la légendaire pêche au marsouin, travail en mer gouverné par la lune et les marées. Un véritable chef-d'oeuvre du cinéma direct. Pierre Perrault, Michel Brault et Marcel Carrière ont fait ce film.

This multi-faceted film can be studied within the context of a number of disciplines. Its ethnographic aspect can be used around discussions of community in social studies, or studies in diversity and pluralism. The film can also be used in geography classes, and can help students consider answers to the following questions: How does a particular geographical area shape the population living within it? How does it contribute to defining them? How is a region's economy tied to its geography?
