The cherished tradition of blueberry picking in northern Canada is slowly fading beneath the relentless march of modern farming practices and shifting demographics. As young people leave the region, seasonal farm workers from Mexico have become crucial to sustaining the harvest. Forest fires threaten the land, but wild blueberries thrive in burned soil, symbolizing both destruction and renewal. Amidst the nostalgia and adversity, music rises as a unifying force, bringing together villagers, seasonal workers, and farmers in a collective symphony of resilience and hope.
