  Sam, a young Anishnabe man, decides to leave his native village in Abitibi
to visit his girlfriend Migona in Québec City. But what begins as a simple
road trip soon turns into a dangerous game of cat and mouse when a chance
encounter with Tania, a Russian prostitute who has stowed herself in the
back of his truck, leads Sam straight into the the path of the Russian
mafia. On the run, Sam and Tania turn to Migona for shelter. Implicated in a
murder and a major drug smuggling operation, Sam must now decide how much he
is willing to risk for the beautiful Tania.

Denis Boivin has made several award-winning short films, including an
extraordinary biography of Pope John Paul II. Born near the Huron village of
Wendake, just outside Québec City, Boivin has returned to his roots for
inspiration as he offers an original look at an unknown aspect of life among
Canada¹s First Nations. Attache ta tuque! is his first feature film. This
dramatic road movie was largely shot on location in the Anishnabe, Innu and
Wendat communities of Québec over the course of a 2,500-kilometre-long
journey.
