“Coasters” is a feature documentary that explores the lives of the people living on the Lower-North-Shore of Quebec namely: the Coasters. Anglophone, francophone and Innu First Nations communities share the isolation of this barren land where there are no roads to the outside world. Every season brings a different challenge for these hardened Canadians who live off the land and the sea. They all wait for winter, for when the frozen water and the snow provides the proper conditions for snowmobile travel. Then, the world is theirs. For almost a century, hockey tournaments, carnivals, and dances take place all along “The Coast”, in a different village every weekend. People who left the region for lack of work return for this moment, frozen in time, knowing the next time they come back home it might be the last.
