Inuk, a film by Mike Magidson, is the story of sixteen year-old Inuk who lives a troubled life with his alcoholic mother and violent step-father. The social services decide to send Inuk North, to a children’s home on a tiny island in the middle of the arctic sea-ice. There, Inuk meets Ikuma, a local polar bear hunter. Haunted by his troubled past, his extraordinary hunting skills are mysteriously disappearing. The children's home’s warm-hearted director, Aviaaja, asks Ikuma to take Inuk on his annual seal-hunting trip to help him understand that he has a valiant past and a hopeful future.
