The 4,000 inhabitants of the archipelago of Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon describe it as a caillou-a tiny rock on which they live, lost in the shadow of Newfoundland. There is something mysterious and inexplicable about this extension of faraway France. In broad strokes, the film paints a picture of this insular population, revealing their history, daily lives and singular character.
