Sister!

Mom!

Sister!

Sister!

Your Sapa, when he grows up
is going to be a great hunter.

My Kaujak, she will be well taken care of.

So be it.

Through them, our families will bond.

My beautiful!

I love you.

My little son, Sapa Sapa

When he hunts,
I’ll eat what I love, Sapa Sapa

When he hunts caribou,
I’ll have beautiful pants, Sapa Sapa

My little son, Sapa Sapa

Jig, daughter!

Darn, I missed!

That one’s too far away.

There! there! daughter, jig!

Darn, I missed!

This is how you do it!

He got one.

I got one!

Let’s try to get one, daughter.

My dear daughter
my dear daughter

She will be attractive
she will be attractive

Because she is Kaujak,
when she grows up

Men will adore her,
she will be beautiful!

Look, your future husband.

I love him, as I love you.

My future son-in-law.

Go hang this up.

The troll is near.

Go! Save them!

Sister!

Sister, I’m going to go help them out.

Yes, go ahead.

A Few Years Later

Our elder will have
fresh caught liver.

My bum is really tired!

Like the man we saw this spring,
on the floe edge, Makpa.

His pants must have been rubbing
on his sled for a long time.

They were so worn out!

Son!

You should watch what you say.

You should know it’s not right,

to make fun of other people.

It’s going to take us all night.

This one wants to keep falling.

There are some worms moving over here.

Stop it, future husband!

You’ll have to be
stronger than that, future husband.

It’s hard work,
but this is going to be our home.

What’s wrong?

I don’t know.
I just had a strange feeling.

I’m feeling spooked.
Let’s go to our camp.

We can continue this tomorrow.

Yes, my future wife.

We lost our son-in-law!
Oh my goodness!

What happened to him?

I have no idea.

I was outside cleaning skins,
he was taking a nap.

I came back and he wasn’t breathing.

He wasn’t even sick.

Go through calm weather.

Here’s some meat to cook.

People seem to be acting strange.

What do you mean?

I don’t know how to explain.

Like they’re not thinking straight.

We’re still in mourning.

Haven’t you noticed my uncle
acting differently since my father died?

They act different around me and my mother.

You are still in mourning.

I think you’re not thinking clearly.

I am not imagining things!

It’s okay.

How do you know how I feel?

You don’t know.

What are we going to do?

There’s nothing we can do.

Don’t hurry back. Wait until you
have something to bring home.

What’s with you?

You’re pulling me.

Silly dog.

I’m worried about Sapa,
I’m going to try and find him.

Do you remember?

Your wifeless buddy at the floe edge?

His pants were so worn out
from sitting.

With those pants,

you’re starting to look like him.

Look, a kayak is coming.

Wow!

My wifeless buddy.

Where are you heading?

I’m heading to the next inlet.

My uncle said he was going to be there.

Something drew me here.

Welcome.
You’ll stay in my tent.

We’ll catch up,
and have something to eat.

Great.

Look, I caught a fat seal.

A seal pup.

We’ll talk and we’ll all eat.

Alright.

Let’s carry your kayak up.

Where is her husband?

Wife!

What?

Where is her husband?

He wasn’t even sick,
but he passed away.

Those two will go through
a hard time.

It’s been a long day, wifeless buddy.
Rest in my tent.

Good idea.

I’ll dry my clothes.
I haven’t slept in a real tent in a while.

I need a break anyway.

I couldn’t sleep last night.

Thinking of Nujatut.

We have a big family with hunters,
and always have food.

Nujatut and her daughter
will not be a burden.

I will provide a better life for them.

Yes, that’s what’s best.

I really need a wife.

I understand your sadness
at losing your first husband.

But I promise to care for you,
and your daughter as if she were my own.

I have no say.

Younger sister!

Why, uncle?

Just listen to your mother.

What an asshole.

We have no choice.

We have to listen.

Wifeless buddy,

My beautiful kayak,
it doesn’t leak.

You can have it.

Thank you.

I’ll put it to good use.

Use it well.

Older sister, let's go.

My nephew, Makpa.

Uncle.

- Feel welcome.
- Yes, of course.

Who is this beautiful one?

That’s my new wife, Nujatut.

She is beautiful.

And her?

My new step-daughter.

Nujatut’s daughter.

Look! A new single woman.

Let’s see which one of you gets her.

Don’t let your shyness stop you.

Where is my future wife?

Mother and daughter were taken away.

You are too late.

By who?

A man came and proposed to Nujatut.

They left to another camp.

When?

They left during the half moon.

We were just starting
to build our qarmaq.

That’s the way it is.
We can’t control these things.

Stop it, future husband.

You’re going to have to be
stronger than that, future husband.

Make these close to each other.

Go around it at least once,
make it as close as possible,

and tighten it as hard as you can.

Over here,
as long as it’s not on top of each other.

That's how to make it super nice.

Only this area
is a little on top of each other.

These are very beautiful to me.

When it’s old and sticky,

bearded seal is harder to cut
than common seal.

Both can be made into ropes.

If we can’t get a bearded seal,

we can cut both this way.

Did your journey get tiring?

At the start, my pack was light.
At the end it seemed heavier.

Oh my.

My older sister
didn’t want to sleep inside.

So she slept outside the tent.

Outside?

- Yes.
- Weren’t you cold?

I didn’t want to sleep in there.

Did he just bite himself?

Do we look different from other women?

The paddle is important
to the kayak.

When you’re paddling...

When you approach an animal

Place your paddle down.
Try not to make a sound.

Then get your harpoon.

You have to bend backwards
for a better throw.

That is how you do it.

Let’s see which one of us
gets her.

I want to go ask for permission.

You bastards.

I want Kaujak for my wife.

Sure.

She is old enough.

She is already promised.

Angusiaq is spoiled.

Yes, I know he is.

How was your camp?

It was fun.

More fun than here.

- Do you miss it?
- Very much.

They are friendlier there.

- That’s hard to let go.
- Yes, I keep thinking about them.

I really miss them.

Makpa brought us here.

I didn’t want to come here.

I wonder why.

My father died,
and we were taken away.

Oh my goodness.

This one looks different.

I’m gonna throw it away.

No, eat it.

You can have it.

Wonder what those are?

I don’t know.

Your mother must be wondering
where you are.

Maybe not.

We left without telling them.

I’m beat.

Not me.

- This is fun.
- It is.

You see that one?

Looks like a caribou.

I’m thinking of Sapa so much,
I just caught a glimpse of him.

Your promised husband?

I know everything feels hopeless.

But being sad won’t change anything.

We were promised all our life.

This is how things are.

When you are older
and a family leader,

you will come across sad situations.

You’ll understand.

This is part of growing up.

Sometimes life reminds us
that we are powerless.

I’m going for a walk.

- It’s my turn.
- No, it’s my turn.

- No, me.
- No, my turn.

It’s supposed to be my turn.

No, me.

You take too long,
it’s my turn now.

Did you eat anything yet?

Ever since Amaujaq died,
I haven’t taken good care of you.

Everything happened so fast.

Amaujaq’s death,
and Nujatut’s departure.

Could we have dealt
with things differently?

Did you realize
something strange was going on?

Makpa shows up right after
the death and proposes.

And he wanted a wife.

Is this suspicious to you?

This isn’t right.

Nukki,

Bring me a skin that is
covered, over there.

What a smile.

All you men, stop bothering Kaujak!

She’s had enough of you
staring at her all the time.

She’s mine now!

What an idiot.

Younger sister,

Can you speak with your new
husband?

Tell him I don’t want to marry
any of the men in this camp.

Why?

You know, Sapa and I
love each other.

We were promised to one another.

They are trying to marry me
to a wrong husband.

I know it’s disappointing, older sister.

There’s nothing I can do.
I’m scared of him.

No one is going to help me?

Younger sister,

Are you alright?

I noticed your health is worse
since we moved here.

Don’t worry about me.

As long as you’re okay.

Stop idling, let’s get going!

Are you forgetting this?

I would like a word with you
before you go.

What!

Do I understand that these young men
are interested in my older sister?

You agreed to Angusiaq’s request,

But these other young men
are also vying for her.

But I don’t know
these young men yet.

I agree she needs to marry,

but couldn’t we agree on
who her husband should be?

Let’s start walking!

I noticed our young men
are fighting over one woman.

My son has a chance.

I didn’t want a husband either.

I was also taken.

At first I wished my husband
would die hunting.

Did he return in one piece?

He caught an animal
and came back.

Did you eat his catch?

Of course.
I got full.

Are you ok?

I’m alright.

My daughter will take care of me.

Keep going without me.

We have time now.

Time for what?

In a time of urgency, we pray to
our grandparents for help.

When I was a child,
an orphan woman was brought to our camp.

She was being mistreated by her husband.
Nobody did anything.

Why?

That’s just what I remember
as a child.

Then one day she just disappeared.

I remember so clearly,
because it was a full moon.

I heard a rumour
that the man in the moon took her away.

Like in the story of Kaujajuk.

The man in the moon
watches over us.

He saves mistreated women
and children who pray to him.

It is said he comes down
from the sky by dog team.

Was she taken to the moon?

Of course, I did not believe it.

Then when I was going to get ice,

I saw her footsteps on the snow,

They just stopped,
as if she lifted off the ground.

It is said he comes down
from the sky by dog team.

Younger sister,
I would never leave you.

Older sister,
I would be heartbroken if you left me.

I don’t know what I would do.

Seeing you unhappy here,
I could never leave you.

I thought...

you were going to be my husband.

My promised husband,

come and save me.

I’ll keep coming back here.

Every night.

But...

I’m giving up.

Father!

Are you here?

Are there any spirits listening to me?

Look what I saw.

Grandson! Come and help me.

I thought...

you were going to be my husband.

My promised husband,

come and save me.

This is how you will get her.

Go to the highest hill.
Meditate, and fast.

Wait until you hear the falcon’s call.

Before you hear the call,
my spirit will guide you.

You’ll never lose
with the caribou spirit.

The caribou spirit will guide you.

You have to build your strength.
Carry this up.

If you want Kaujak,
you’ll have to beat me.

Now you’re ready.

Time to play ball!

Time to play ball!

Play ball!

We’ll split the teams
into ptarmigans and squaws.

Squaws on this side,
and ptarmigans on that side.

You’ll split in two
and play against each other.

Is everyone ready?

First one to catch it,
starts the game.

Play ball!

Spread out!
You’re too close to each other.

Skunk him!

Food’s ready!

We’re going to start the meal.
Men move this way, women on that side.

Nukki, did you get tired of losing?

Kaujak got skunked
a couple of times.

I was winning.

Yes, Akpaliapik won.

Step-daughter, tired of losing?
Is that why you’re moody?

Yup.

Too bad.

It is clear that my son
is the winner of this game.

Angusiaq and Kaujak
will now get married.

Her step father,
Makpa, already agreed.

I don’t want him.

This young woman fights back.

This food is delicious.

Eat as much as you want.

We’re going to walk inland,
before this full moon.

These need to be fixed.

Did your mother not teach you?

What a spoiled brat.
And I have to help him.

Younger sister, can you help me?

Young people today

can’t even make clothes
for their new husbands?

Move over, big mouth.

Ok, my dear.

Younger sister, come sit here.

Your mother is not well
enough to walk inland.

So I’m going to stay with her.

Will this be your first time to go inland?

I used to go with my family
when I was a child.

That’s good.

Akpaliapik will also follow.

See, now you know
how to patch the toe piece.

Why do we women menstruate?

As you’re growing,
it starts to happen.

I know I have to
accept my new role,

but Angusiaq is not a nice person.

I can’t imagine a life with him.

I feel sorry for you, older sister.

But there’s no other choice.

This was not supposed to happen.

I know your love for Sapa
is strong.

Younger sister, you’re sick.

I want to stay with you.

You have no other choice.

Is this how my life will be?

Older sister,

you are able.
I have taught you well.

I know you will overcome
these hardships.

New wife,
hurry up and come here.

Let’s camp here,
we’re close enough.

Here.

Can Kaujak stay behind?

Why?

I’m not feeling well.
She can help me.

No way.

She must learn
to take care of her new husband.

You should go caribou hunting.

So you’ll have new clothes.

Yes, my dear.

I wonder who’s over there.

Someone please help me.

That man is not meant
to be my husband.

Sapa is my promised husband.

What are you doing?

Who are you talking to?

No one’s going to hear you!
You are mine.

Don’t touch me.

Get your hands off me!

Get off of me!

You bastard!

Who the hell is this?!

You can’t have my promised wife!

Sister!
