A very tender and moving story of an Inuit man, who in the 1950s goes for treatment of TB at a hospital in Quebec City. We view his cultural shock at this new environment where he cannot speak the language (French) and barely understands what his treatment is.
There may be some who object to the benevolent hospital and religious attendants, but this may be missing the point of this beautifully told story of how an individual survives and copes under new circumstances.
It is wonderfully filmed, and we feel the emotional side of his plight and those who are in the hospital with him. We need more films like this.
