A woman with a deep love of the land, Yolande Simard Perrault sees her life as having been shaped by a planetary upheaval in Charlevoix, Quebec, millions of years ago. As enduring as the Canadian Shield, she’s a woman of strength and spirit, a child of the crater left by the meteor’s impact. This documentary portrays a determined woman who’s the reflection of a land created on an immense scale. She was the creative and life partner of filmmaker Pierre Perrault, who gave up everything to be by her side. The film charts the influence of her unquenchable dreams and her contribution to the building of a people’s collective memory. In a stream of images and words, Simard Perrault recounts the splendours of the landscape and the people who shaped it. Generous and boundless, she embarks on a quest for identity that nurtures and perpetuates the oeuvre of the man who breathed new life into Quebec cinema.

Coronada en 1633, a los seis años, la Reina Cristina de Suecia fue una joven dirigente, enigmática y brillante, que combatió a las fuerzas conservadoras para revolucionar Suecia al tiempo que experimentaba el amor y exploraba su incipiente sexualidad. Huérfana de padre, rechazada por su madre y criada en una corte luterana dominada por hombres que pensaban que no tenía otra opción que casarse para tener un heredero, Cristina se vio envuelta entre la pasión y la razón. Revolucionaria, estudiosa de las artes y las ciencias, amiga de Descartes, librepensadora, precursora del movimiento feminista. Cristina era al mismo tiempo confusa, inquieta, excéntrica, solitaria, y en la corte todos subestimaban tanto su mente brillante como el despertar de la atracción que sentía por la condesa Ebba Sparre. Dividida por el conflicto que le planteaban sus aspiraciones políticas y sus deseos personales, Cristina tomaría una de las decisiones más controvertidas de la historia.
