Movie Haiku:Filmed on Baffin Island (the northeast corner of Canada) by an almost exclusively Inuit cast & crew, this is a mesmerizing tale of human life under the harshest conditions. Don’t look for modern psychology; this is a deeply mythological exercise – lust, murder, rivalry & revenge threaten a tight-knit community’s bonds.
