Country: USA
Plot: In Barrow, Alaska, teenagers Qalli and Aivaaq find their bond tested when a seal-hunting trip goes wrong, resulting in the death of their friend.
Review: This story about an accidental crime in Alaska was interesting to
follow. Without anything really transcendent, it touches however in some points
that deserve consideration – issues like alcohol and drugs abuse, night parties
(despite of the sun never sets), friendship and family, in such an isolated
village was well documented. The uneven acting was the main issue with this
movie, but the coherence of the plot makes us watch it till the end without
boring moments.
Relevant awards: Best debut film and Crystal Bear (Berlin); Jury Prize (Woodstock).
