A personal intimate journey inside the Greenlandic juvenile world where nature, violence, boredom and a strong cultural legacy have been claiming for decades the highest toll: that of hundreds of young lives. In East Greenland 25% of youths aged between 15 and 25 try to end their lives every year. 2% of them succeed. The experiences of Ole, Elvira, Hans and Kaleraaq, who survived to several attempts, are not isolated stories but the mirror of the fears of a huge part of young Greenlanders inclined to suicide.
