Fiction

A rich Czech tourist and his translator come to an Inuit shaman – an Angakkoq. The meeting is arranged at a local museum and its purpose is a legendary meeting of the Angakkoq's and the Czech's ancestors. The foreigner is willing to pay a lot of money for the story. By the Inuit’s suggestive narration a fiction story from the times of the first Christian missionaries in Greenland comes to life. It is a mystical story about a misunderstanding between a young missionary and a shaman that must be resolved by Inuit magic. The short film about the clash of different cultures and mentalities is the first Czech-Greenlandic co-production.
