Twenty-five percent of Greenland's population depends on seal hunting.

This beautiful documentary spends ten days with a hunting family and shares their everyday lives and magnificent environment. The camera joins them sealing and participates in a village feast for a young boy who has just killed his first seal.

The film also considers the effect of the fall in prices of seal furs after the success of anti-sealing media campaigns.
