"For five thousand years, Inuktitut and the barking of qimmiit have echoed in Nunavik. Life there is cruel. But that's what makes it beautiful. Precious."

Between the taiga and the tundra, a young Inuit couple from Nunavik discover and learn to love each other. Accompanied by their dogs, the qimmiit, Saullu and Ulaajuk travel across a still-wild continent, all free and united.

A few decades later, a lawyer is dispatched to the North Shore to defend an Inuk murderer whose victims are former Sûreté du Québec police officers. Her quest for justice will take her beyond what she had imagined. A true story, Qimmik tells the tale of a majestic territory that governments sought to subjugate, both it and its inhabitants. Whatever the cost.
