Description of the excerpts from the film L'espoir de Dany-Koo by Rachel-Alouki Labbé

The first images open onto smoke and a campfire. A close-up of a drum and a hand drumming with a stick immediately follows these. Then a close-up of women's feet dancing followed by a shot of a young woman dressed in a traditional dress and shawl. She dances to the rhythm of the drum inside a large tepee.

The fire reappears to fade immediately into the other image showing a close-up of heads of a young woman and young man conversing.

The other scene takes us along a dirt road bordered by trees. The film title appears on screen in Attikamekw and French. The road takes us to a close-up of three eagle feathers attached to a window frame.

Soon we see a young man and young woman approaching, walking hand in hand. He is tall and slim, a head taller than his companion. They look happy. In the following scene, they are sitting by a riverbank. The young woman speaks into the camera. Then we see a close-up of her. She continues to speak while smoothing wisps of her long hair that are agitated by the breeze. She has a very pretty face, and seems lit up with hope.

In the following scene, the camera takes to the road again. The landscape is snow-covered. The trees come into focus in against the rays of sunlight peeking through them. We pass two human silhouettes on the road.

In the following scene, the viewer is within the young couple's kitchen. They are hugging in front of the stove. They kiss then separate so the young woman can pick up a baby another young woman brings to her.

The next shot shows the young mother speaking in front to the camera. We know she is in the baby's room because we can see a crib and baby toys. In another scene, the young parents are cuddling and kissing their baby who is in its mother's arms. Finally, in the kitchen again, we see the young mother dancing with her baby. Another young woman and a girl are with them. Both of them take the baby in their arms in turn.
