In an isolated city in Alaska, two teenagers from the Iñupiaq community lead an uneventful life until a fight breaks out during a seal hunt and one of their friends is accidentally killed. After getting rid of his body, they decide to report the death as an accident, riddled with guilt.
A taut thriller buoyed by its sensitive portrayal of Indigenous lives, Andrew Okpeaha MacLean’s Berlinale-winning debut scales the profound weight of loss on a close-knit community. Piled with secrets, the icy ground of Utqiaġvik, the director’s Alaskan hometown, simmers with claustrophobic unease.
