Show detail Hide detail

A comedy about culture shock and modern living. Muush, an Algonquin Indian, leaves his reserve in northern Quebec, in the middle of winter, loaded down with beaver pelts. He hitchhikes to the outskirts of Montreal and then walks until he reaches a small shop downtown called Bernstein's Furs and Hats -- Expensive Hats Cheap. Before going inside, Muush removes his thick fur hat and puts on a small black skull cap he found in his father's belongings. He introduces himself to a white-haired man working over a table and calls him grandfather. The grandfather, Morris, explains to Muush that his real name is Moishe, not Muush. Morris says that many years ago a young Hassid went up north to get furs, met an Indian woman and fell in love. Muush is three-quarters Indian and one-quarter Jewish. Morris is involved in a secret campaign to save a wildlife park from developers who want to turn it into a car assembly plant. His partner is a pretty French woman, Francine. Morris asks Muush to help them set an elaborate trap. The trap works perfectly. The police take the bait and investigate, but Muush is mistakenly identified as a member of an extremist cult responsible for the latest activities and is arrested. The local reporters latch onto the story. Encouraged by all the media attention, Morris and Francine lay out the next part of their plan but first they have to get Muush out of jail without implicating themselves. <30mn>.
