Hors-Chant

Early 20th century. Singer Marie Toulinguet has lost her voice. Deeply affected by this personal tragedy, she is haunted by frightening memories of her childhood in Newfoundland (Canada). She remembers an Indian doll, a gift from her mother. It was made by a maid named Shanawdithit, the last survivor of the Beothuk Indians. As Marie relives her loss of voice, a bond is reestablished between her and the Indian woman who is dead. Through this enigmatic relationship, Marie can reconcile herself with her past and perhaps invent a future.
