Synopsis


Igloolik, Nunavut, 2000 avant notre ère. Kaujak (Theresia Kappianaq) et Sapa (Haiden Angutimarik) ont été promis l'un à l'autre dès leur naissance. Après la mort soudaine du père de Kaujak, sa mère épouse un homme d'un autre camp, séparant ainsi les jeunes amoureux. La promesse d'une vie meilleure se transforme rapidement en cauchemar, avec des prétendants agressifs soutenus par un chaman maléfique qui rivalisent pour gagner la main de Kaujak. Mais Kaujak résiste, s'accrochant à l'espoir que Sapa réparera un jour les torts causés.
