Bertolino's camera work is intimate, following her through creative processes and daily life. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments to breathe, which gives you time to digest her words and experiences. Themes of identity and resilience resonate throughout, reflecting both her Innu heritage and her artistic journey. There’s a rawness to it; it's not overly polished, which adds to its authenticity.
