Synopsis
A portrait of Niaqornat, a remote village in Northern Greenland with a population of 59. In particular, the film focuses on four townsfolk: Lars, the only teenager, Karl, the huntsman who has never acknowledged Lars is his son, Ilanngauq, the outsider who moved to Niaqornat after meeting his wife online, and Annie, the elder who remembers the ways of the Shamen and a time when the lights were fuelled by seal blubber. As we observe their everyday lives, we comes to understand that the economic and ecological future of the community is more fragile than its hardy inhabitants.
