In 2005, the discovery of a vast archaeological site in Quebec overturned established knowledge about the history of the French presence. It was in fact the Breton navigator Jacques Cartier who founded the first colony in the 16th century. But who really is this man with many faces, imaginary and folkloric representations? The film shows that the French explorer is not only a seasoned navigator and the "discoverer of Canada". He is also a complex man, driven by a thirst for adventure and recognition that will continue to guide his destiny from the city of Saint-Malo, his home port.
