On a sombre theatre stage, sculpted and hand-drawn apparitions move about in stop-motion. Between Jesus and Nokomis, a legendary figure of the North-American Anishinaabe, a dialogue unfolds. A Métis girl is caught in the middle, investigating the deep rift in her identity. One by one, Nokomis counters the Seven Deadly Sins with Seven Sacred Teachings. A cathartic act of self-discovery, in which Terril Calder once again examines the wounds of colonial history.
