In an Innu community in Québec, two girls are growing up together as best friends. Mikuan lives in a functional family, while Shaniss struggles with a troublesome past. Their oath of allegiance, made when they were children, is put to the test when Mikuan, now aged seventeen, falls in love with a white boy. She plans to leave the reservation, that now appears to hold too little space for her dreams. A humorously and tenderly told story about friendship, personal development and cultural roots.

Zwei junge Frauen unterhalten sich draußen in einer Wohngegend. Die eine, die in die Kamera schaut, lächelt und trägt eine Jeansjacke mit grünen Strähnen im Haar. Die andere ist von hinten zu sehen. Im Hintergrund stehen Pappkartons neben einem Pickup.
