Steampunk Connection

Before Tomorrow
Marie-Hélène Cousineau
Around 1840, some of the Inuit tribes still have never met any white people, but they hear about where they come from, what they want do and the reason. In summer, two isolated families meet each other again, the young people get married, the elder tell stories to the young, they are planning for the food that can help them spending over winter. Although everything seems goes well, Ningiuq, an old woman of strength and wisdom, cannot stop worrying. She thinks that the surrounding is unstable, so she wants to think about her life. Before Tomorrow is the story of a woman who demonstrates that human dignity is at the core of life from beginning to end, as she faces with her grandson the ultimate challenge of survival.
Ungava
Marie-Hélène Cousineau
Anna is feverish when she arrives with her son Tomas in Igloolik, a small community located in the Canadian Arctic. As a young teacher, she had an adventure there with her son’s Inuit father. Now 14 years old, Tomas was born and raised in Montreal, with his mother, and therefore knows very little about his Inuit origins. This brilliant and solid teenager would like to learn more about the culture of his father, but the latter, who disappeared in unknown circumstances, is no longer there to guide him. For Tomas’ mother and the paternal family circle, the joy of reunion is overshadowed by the painful memories of a brief episode in their common history. Over the course of two weeks that seem to merge into one endless day under the midnight sun, Anna and Tomas will strive to reconnect with this family they can no longer ignore.
Angelique’s Isle
Marie-Hélène Cousineau
Based on the novella, Angelique Abandoned by James R. Stevens, Angelique’s Isle is set during the Lake Superior Copper Rush of 1845. It retells the true story of Angelique Mott. Julia Jones plays the role of the 18-year-old Indigenous woman who, despite the warnings of her grandmother, Green Thunderbird (Tantoo Cardinal), sets out with her voyageur husband Charlie (Charlie Carrick) to search for copper ore with a Detroit business man named Cyrus Mendenhall (Aden Young) and his crew. They discover a large copper-filled boulder on Isle Royale in Lake Superior. Too heavy and too large to move, Charlie agrees to protect the claim while the Americans return home to raise money for the equipment they will need to move the boulder. However, summer fades and Angelique and Charlie have neither enough food or protective clothing to get them through a severe Northern Ontario winter. Angelique ultimately turns away from her Catholic upbringing and turns to the traditional teachings she received from her grandmother in order to survive.
La rivière sans repos
Marie-Hélène Cousineau
Kuujjuaq, Nunavik in the 1940s. Surprised by the loss of her innocence, the young Inuk Elsa draws her courage from her difficult land to become a woman as strong and independent as the river that crosses the territory. Moving between the norms set by the colonizers, the living reality of her own family, the quality of a relationship that is not right for her, and the revolt of her teenage son, Elsa’s destiny follows the windy course of the indomitable river that accompanies each stage of his life. Adapted from the novel “The Restless River” by Gabrielle Roy.
