We’re at Lydia Mestokosho-Paradis's grandparents' house. It's just an ordinary day. Her uncle’s cooking, her aunt’s preparing bannock on the porch. There’s a fire to cook the bread. Inside, the dryer was turned off for filming. Three women are talking in Innu and having fun. They’re talking about a man who was a womanizer, they’re wondering how to say JELLO in Innu and want to know if the cameraman wants a soft drink. It's just like any other day.

Transcript

The camera is located in the centre of an open-concept house where the living room is on one side and the kitchen and dining room on the other. The door to the main entrance is at the bottom of a few stairs. At the top of the stairs, before the living room, a closet and a washing machine can be seen in the hallway. In the living room, there’s a garden door behind a wooden rocking chair. A sofa covered with an orange blanket and a television set furnish the rest of the room. In the kitchen, an open door reveals a bed in a room adjacent to the kitchen. A dish is steaming on the stove.

Three women are sitting in the living room, discussing. One is sitting in a dark red armchair and the other two are sitting on wooden chairs beside a work table. In the kitchen, a man is sitting at the table watching the living room. One of the women sitting in the living room stands up and helps the man, who is in a wheelchair. She returns to the living room. A man enters through the garden door, crosses the room to drop off a pair of work gloves near the entrance and walks in the hallway, where he looks into the washer as he passes by.
