Moose hunting, a tradition in Québec, is used as a pretext to delve into the human soul and give it expression. Holed up in a shack in Maniwaki are city dwellers on their annual trek into nature... hoping for a miracle. The mysteries of the hunt--a game of luck and skill, where dreams and reality become blurred by ‘‘buck fever’’. The hunters’ pleasure of measuring up against the elements, discovering their limits. An experience with death, to exorcise their own death and renew the circle of life. We also find panache, bravado and braggartry, along with a savage beastlike pack mentality among a group of friends who are quick to pick a victim who they submit to torturous irony. A brilliant depiction of hunting and the mythology that surrounds it.
