Wamin

In the Atikamekw language, wamin means ​“apple,” but it is also an insult directed at those who leave their community to make their way in the city. In a short performance, this film addresses the issue of identity through the story of a young Atikamekw woman who wants to break away from the land of her birth in order to take charge of her life. A strong film imbued with the desire for freedom.
