Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband) directed by Zacharias Kunuk at Festival du Nouveau Cinema

Igloolik, Nunavut, 2000 BCE. Kaujak and Sapa were promised to each other at birth. After the sudden death of Kaujak’s father, her mother marries a man from another camp tearing the young lovers apart. The promise of a better life quickly turns to a nightmare, with aggressive suitors backed by an evil shaman vying to win Kaujak’s hand. But Kaujak resists, holding on to hope that Sapa will one day make things right.
