Nanook is about a young Inuit woman, Aga, who, after years living in Denmark, is called home to Greenland to deal with her mother’s illness. Her parents, SEDNA and NANOOK, are traditionalists, living off of the land, struggling against the changes brought by “civilization”. AGA tries to convince her mother to return with her to Copenhagen, but comes into conflict with her stubborn father, who clings to his ancient way of life.
