Synopsis
When the humiliation and grief of his eldest son’s shooting rampage and subsequent suicide threatens to pull him under, a brokenhearted father (Rasmus Lyberth) leaves his family and tight-knit community and heads into Greenland’s bleak landscape. As he journeys forth on an antiquated dogsled with no destination, he eventually finds solace — and the soul he lost long ago — in the form of a mystical hermit (Anda Kristiansen).

Guns and family tensions don't often mix, and when they do, tragic consequences happen. A father's two sons at odds over upholding traditional cultural values on the night before a family hunt and social opportunities embracing urban adolescence pushes one son over the edge leading to the killing of his brother. Their father goes on a spiritual journey to make peace with the event. Great Danish-Greenland film debut.
