Introducing
Warning, this film contains scenes of sexual abuse.
Synopsis
Jan has been running away (from himself) ever since he was sexually abused by his father. He has moved his family to Greenland, where he yearns to be part of the open, collectivist culture and become a ‘Kalak’ (the local word meaning dirty Greenlander). But can he truly become ‘another’? And what price must the people around him pay for his quest? This intimate and political tale lingers in the mind long after viewing.
