At the heart of the St. Lawrence River, on Isle-aux-Oyes and Isle-aux-Grues, a legend hunter discovers the beauty of art and the majestic landscapes that surround it. Gilles Gagné is a veritable incarnation of the land where he lives and works as a hunting guide, in close harmony with the four elements, history, and memory. For 30 years, Gilles Gagné guided painter Jean Paul Riopelle on epic goose hunts. In this documentary, he accompanies contemporary artist Marc Séguin on well-known roads that he visits yearly, the same roads that inspired Riopelle in the creation of his most famous piece, Tribute to Rosa Luxemburg. A hymn to nature, and a tribute to art.
