Description

In the bone-chillingly cold town of Barrow, Alaska, Iñupiaq teenagers Qalli and Aivaaq have grown up like brothers in an isolated community that still clings to the old way of doing things while mainstream American culture seeps in through imported hip-hop and snowmobiles. While on a seal hunting expedition, a fight breaks out between the two boys and another teen that escalates into a tragic accident, and Qalli and Aivaaq find themselves sharing a dark secret that tests the limits of their friendship. With the starkly beautiful Alaskan tundra providing the backdrop, this film is both a rare glimpse into a modern Inuit community and a suspenseful, icy thriller. In English and Iñupiaq with English subtitles.
