A Danish man wanting to escape his father's farm moves to Greenland to teach Danish...

Much like last year's _Makala_ (an African man crosses the country selling firewood propped on his bike to buy roofing for his home), this faux documentary (the situation is real, the story is true and the people are playing themselves, but the shots are set up and the scenes are planned out) takes us to a remote destination and lets us live amongst the natives.

While the rewatch value of this film is very low, the spectacular views and the lifestyle of the inhabitants hold interest. The story, however, may be personal but is still cliched (young man leaves his family and suffers culture shock in a new world) and thus less intriguing than a film like _Makala_.
