“This may seem like a simple story. But no story is ever really simple.” This observational documentary follows a migrating polar bear that cannot return home because the sea has not frozen over, gradually taking on a multi-layered dimension regarding the relationship between humans and nature. Setting its lens on the town of Churchill in the Canadian province of Manitoba, known as the ‘polar bear capital of the world’, the film recounts a young bear’s struggle for survival while directly addressing the oppression the region’s Indigenous peoples have endured on their own lands over the years. What begins as the story of a single bear gradually delves deep into the history of colonialism and how life changed with the arrival of outside forces.
