Synopsis: A young boy Inuit living a goal-less life with his mother in the city of Greenland has to go in the north to learn how to behave better, far from his alcoholic mother.
Review: The story is quite simple without many events, but the atmosphere is interesting, as the Great North is a new world for the movie theaters. There was also Gnade in 2012, but movies up there are very rare. And here, there was the plot of many movies in the last 20 years about the coming back from the sin city to the good values of the countryside.  The environment for directing (real lost nature and non-professional actors) and the way some classical parts (mentor, love story) are introduced, make this indie movie quite remarkable and sensible. Well, the movement of camera and the acting of Inuk (Gaaba Petersen) are not so good and the movie seems time to time long, but Ikuma (Ole Jorgen Hammeken) is very convincing. For a first movie, chapeau!
