Gino Bouleau

Documentary films introduce us to people we might never have had the chance to meet otherwise. This is especially true for this short film, directed by two filmmakers from Rouyn-Noranda, which take us to meet a man from their region who lives alone in the heart of the forest. Filmed over two weeks, the film follows this man, "free as a bird," in his most natural environment. For anyone dreaming of changing direction after facing hardship, Gino reminds us that it's possible. Sometimes, we can reinvent a life that fits us perfectly, whether to escape the world or to reconnect with ourselves.
