Note: The latter part of this drama was filmed on Sable Island. This film tells the story of a sixteen-year-old Manou who discovers she is pregnant, discovers her sister is actually her mother, and falls in love with a complicated and unpredictable young fellow, Jim. All at about the same time. Manou and Jim decide to head out in search of their dream, a sanctuary, a wild and isolated place called Sable Island. In the story, there are no people on the island—it is inhabited only by wild horses. After trekking through Quebec, they eventually reach Nova Scotia where they are able to persuade a local fisherman (played by a character familiar to people working on the island in the 1980s, retired Coast Guard manager Bill Parsons) to deliver them and their small dog to Sable. The landing on the island scene was filmed on the mainland. The actors, the dog, and film crew travelled to Sable by fixed-wing aircraft. In this final part of the film Manou and Jim arrive, they have a dream sequence on the north beach (using some of the Sable Station’s furnishings as props), they find the wild horses, and Manou calls home.
