The shadow of anthropological objectivism haunts a clumsy film director who experiments, methodologically and formally, around the obscene act of filming native populations in the northernmost town.
There, Robert Peary, an American explorer, thought more than 100 years ago, that the only way for a human being to reach the North Pole would be to have children with Inuits, "to create a super-race that would combine the Eskimo strength and the shrewdness of the Westerner." Following in the footsteps of this extravagant theory, this film essay marches in search of that super-race.
