Igloolik, Nunavut, 2000 BCE.
Teenage lovers Kaujak (Theresia Kappianaq) and Sapa (Haiden Angutimarik) were promised to each other at birth.
After the sudden death of Kaujak’s father, her mother marries a man from another camp tearing the two apart.
The promise of a better life quickly turns to a nightmare, with aggressive suitors backed by an evil shaman vying to win Kaujak’s hand. But Kaujak resists, holding on to hope that Sapa will one day make things right.
