They forge an unlikely relationship with young fille Marie-Jeanne Lespâerance, whose dreams of a new life are more complicated than she could have imagined. Over the course of a year, Kanien'kehâa:ka, French and English journeys collide, setting the stage for the Canada we know today. Payette's music connects the heartbeat of the drum and the soaring voices of our female ancestors in a thrilling contemporary score, weaving three languages and rivalling the beauty of Canada's most stunning landscapes"
