A search into the heart of an Inughuit man whose family is being torn apart by alcohol, violence and tragedy. This realistic tale in which a grieving father journeys into the interior on a dangerous hunting trip gradually becomes an odyssey into a mystical world, guided by The Qivittoq, where Rasmus may find the strength he needs by reconnecting with his lost traditions and his own memories.
