Description

July 29, 1916. In the woods of Northern Ontario, the flames are
rising. Soon, this will be known as the Great Fire of Matheson, one
of many forest fires that ravaged the province in the beginning of
the 20th century. On that day, the young Boychuck will narrowly
escape death, forever scarred by the sight of his homeland in
ashes.
Many decades later, a photographer takes interest in the survivors
of those Great Fires. She will come to know some of them, venerable old hermits living deep in the woods, still prizing their
freedom. Other tormented souls will come into this story of survival and dignity, a shining demonstration that love, hope and the desire to be
free do not wither with age.
