Summary:

An effervescent film caper on Gaspé's famous rock. The pierced rock near Québec's Gaspé peninsula is probably more photographed, and the object of more tourist curiosity, than any other natural phenomenon on Canada's Atlantic coast. Special film effects, music and animation, make this production a musical comedy.
