The film takes us to the Arctic Ocean Coast of Chukotka where marine hunters live and upkeep one of the last remaining fur farms in the region. The film attempts to depart from the typical rhythmic structure of cinema to instead imitate the form of a shamanic ritual. While claiming to call into question assumptions about Indigenous behavior, the film itself offers palpably outsider’s representation of these Arctic people.
