  <abstract>Depuis cinq mille ans, l'inuktitut et le jappement des qimmiit résonnent dans le Nunavik. La vie y est cruelle. Mais c'est ce qui la rend belle. Précieuse. » Entre la taïga et la toundra, un jeune couple inuit du Nunavik se découvre et apprend à s'aimer. Accompagnés de leurs chiens, les qimmiit, Saullu et Ulaajuk parcourent un continent encore sauvage, tous libres et solidaires. Quelques décennies plus tard, une avocate est dépêchée sur la Côte-Nord pour défendre un meurtrier inuk dont les victimes sont d'anciens policiers de la Sécurité du Québec. Sa quête de justice l'emmènera au-delà de ce qu'elle avait imaginé.</abstract>
  <abstract>For five thousand years, Inuktitut and the yapping of the qimmiit have resonated 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 each other 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 Quebec Security police officers. Her quest for justice will take her beyond what she had imagined.</abstract>
