This film tells the story of a man who embarks upon a personal adventure for two months, living in a cabin on the frontiers of Alaska, completely cut off from his usual environment.

This man does not see himself as an adventurer and the film deals mostly with the concerns linked to this experience, without his family, friends or social networks and with no means of communication or receiving news. This man knows quite a lot about nature but he doesn’t know this place and doesn’t necessarily feel at home here. As time goes by, he settles into this solitude and explores his surroundings. A hunter and fisherman, he tries to vary his diet, catching a duck, a goose or a salmon, guided by the principal of only killing what he needs. He searches the Pacific shoreline for giant starfish and the glass floats of Japanese fishing nets. He observes nature, ventures into marshes and mountains. He is sometimes scared, because this is the territory of grizzly bears and you mustn’t surprise them...

This man is the director-naturalist Patrick Glotin, who offers us a self-shot documentary, between moods, feelings and the discovery of nature.

Patrick films the preparations for his trip to Anchorage, his precautionary training session on a shooting range, his final purchases… Has he forgotten anything? And then the seaplane disappears and leaves him, lost for words, faced with the fears linked to this sudden solitude.
