Les Productions de L'Épaule

Two sailing passionates build an ice canoe, igniting the spark of a rediscovered memory for a rich culture that is still very much alive.

L'HOMME DE L'ISLE is a film that offers a look at an island hunting guide and the power of his universe. It depicts a long and beautiful relationship between Gilles Gagné, a man of earthly intelligence and sensitivity, and a great Master...Jean-Paul Riopelle. Together, he hunts, he sips and above all he discusses. While one rediscovers the beauty of his world on Isle aux Oyes, the other draws inspiration from it to create works of art.
