Plot Summary: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).
The location shooting was carried out under extremely tough conditions with temperatures down to 70 degrees centigrade below zero. The cast and crew had to stay in a camp near the ice cap and sleep in tents raised on the bare ice.
