A three-masted schooner forges the fjords of Northeast Greenland, carrying a diverse human cargo of artists and scientists. The audience joins the sailors on this journey through a stunningly beautiful yet rapidly changing landscape. The journey, however, is also into the deepest recesses of ourselves. The discovery of a new species, debates about the meaning of life, and a standoff with a polar bear are all in a day’s work for this eclectic crew. A score that ranges from heavy metal to soaring orchestral pieces illuminates the sumptuous visuals in this utterly cinematic, humorous, and enlightening adventure story.
