...Arctic village of Igloolik live two brothers: Amaqjuaq (Pakkak Innukshuk), the strong one, and Atanarjuat (Natar Ungalaaq), the speedy one. Theirs might be a frostily idyllic existence, except that an evil spirit has infected Igloolik's ruling family. The family's young bull, Oki (Peter-Henry Arnatsiaq), has Sonny Corleone's temper and Fredo's sense of grudging inferiority. Oki's sister Puja (Lucy Tulugarjuk) is the local vamp, an Arctic Circle Circe. She gets under the sealskins of our brother heroes and stirs up a steaming pot of mischief...
