Full Synopsis

In Lac-Saint-Jean, summer means blueberry season. Once the fields paint themselves blue, fruit gatherers of all kinds rush to pick these precious boreal berries before the first frost. The Blueberry Blues celebrates a territory and the people who return to this hardy little fruit each summer, connecting generations and cultures. Together, like blueberries emerging from the ashes of a forest fire, they learn the power of resilience.
