Anders, a 28-year-old teacher who has just graduated in his native Denmark, takes up his first position in a small village in Greenland. As soon as he arrives, he suddenly becomes the only refuge for the solitary child in the class, a potential lover for the old village waitress and, why not, even the future Mayor! Rather than a teacher, he represents hope! Famous for his documentary approach to fiction, this film by Samuel Collardey follows The Apprentice and Tempete. He came across the true story of a village that struggled to find a new teacher every year, because nobody could put up with the difficult living conditions for more than one school year. Prepare to immerse yourselves in a polar year that will make you dream, laugh and cry, in the heart of the Arctic.
