Movie description:
This historical drama features the first winter spent in Canada by a family of Irish immigrants deep in the Ottawa Valley. The year is 1830. Because the father is working in a logging camp, the mother has sole charge of the family. Sickness overtakes her, and she dies. The children are left on their own to survive.
The film graphically illustrates the enormous hardships endured by the first settlers who had to cope with a climate with which they were unfamiliar. A beautiful, moving film.
On their first winter in their new home of Canada, an Irish immigrant family is finding life a struggle at the best of times. Now, with the father away for work during the winter, the mother and the children labor for a bare existence. Then tragedy strikes and the young survivors must call upon their inner strengths to make it through the unforgiving season.
