...is an Inuit "storytelling" captured on film. Those who know this culture better than I admonish against calling this a "movie" about indigenous human life in a frozen world. It's certainly not a documentary. Nor can it be called a fiction.

Produced, directed and acted by (largely amateur) natives, this is an absolutely unique look at one of the most foreign and distinctive aboriginal environments in the world. Survival in this white, deadly cold, desert of ice and snow depends on the keeping of strange customs of relationship - relationship between sexes, between enemies and friends, between generations, between man and animal, between fact and myth, between the physical and spirit worlds.

There is much to be learned watching this. Highly recommended.
