Markussi, a young Inuit gifted with a link to the spirits, is watching his clan slip away: the game has vanished, hunger is closing in, and the shaman Croolik guards answers he refuses to share. With Apik and Putulik, he strikes out for Sarila, the fabled land of plenty, across white wastes, bears, blizzards and visions. Modest Canadian 3D animation with an outsized heart, serving Arctic myth undiluted and sled-bound adventure at full, frostbitten throttle.
