Leila, a goat breeder in Miquelon, has been trying to sell her farm for the last 3 years, without success. What is she doing in Miquelon? Why did she embark, singlehandedly, on this venture? Raising goats on this island, where they had never existed before? How does she feel about her self-imposed solitude? A portrait of a woman who confronts rather than submits to fate.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon: a population of just 6,000 people, two inhabited islands and a few deserted and isolated islets, stranded in the North Atlantic Ocean, along the Canadian coast.

In Saint Pierre and Miquelon, life is a storm-tossed tightrope walk. Precariously balanced, it’s a risky enterprise and the achievement of goals is rarely guaranteed. Character-building or soul-destroying… There’s no room for complacency here, and even less for giving up!

Through the unique and powerful story of Leila, this film describes the strength of this magnificent place, the courage of its inhabitants, and their resistance, resilience and solidarity.
