Summary

In this gorgeous retelling of an Inuit legend set in 2000 BCE, two young Inuit lovers in Igloolik, Kaujak and Sapa, are destined to be together. When Kaujak’s father dies, and his mother remarries, Kaujuk is separated from his soulmate and, in desperation, they turn to a shaman to help them be together. 

This breathtaking romantic drama won the award for Best Canadian Feature Film at TIFF in 2025, and was named to their Canada’s Top Ten list.

“Kunuk has once again created something special: a film made for and by Inuit, with a story that transcends culture.” — Matthew Simpson, Exclaim!

Cast Haiden Angutimarik (Inuk), Leah Panimera (Inuk), Theresia Kappianaq (Inuk)
