Summary:
It is June, 2017, and time for the spring seal pup hunt. Inuit hunters travel on the melting sea ice, looking for cracks and seals' breathing holes during the summer's 24 hours of daylight. Director Zacharias Kunuk follows elder Louis Uttak on a family seal hunt, as Louis shares his expert hunting knowledge and tells stories of his life living on the land. Elders are seen instructing young neophyte hunters in the skills required for successful seal hunting. Techniques of seal pup meat harvesting are shown.
