Depuis mai 2001, il était devenu possible au Québec pour des promoteurs privés d'exploiter le potentiel hydroélectrique de certaines chutes sur les rivières. Le film analyse les enjeux d'une telle pratique. Le comédien Gaston Lepage nous transporte sur les sites que certains désirent voir exploiter, mais que d'autres veulent conserver à titre de patrimoine inviolable.
