Wrong Husband

4000 years ago in the Canadian Arctic. Kaujak and Sapa were promised to each other at birth and have always had a sincere and loving relationship. But, after the sudden death of Kaujak’s father, the bonds of marriage are broken. Sapa is away on a hunt when Kaujak’s mother remarries and the family move to the camp of her new husband. Life there soon turns into a nightmare. Aggressive suitors, supported by a demonic shaman, are bent on winning Kaujak’s hand. She steadfastly resists, even as her hope that Sapa will return and make things right begins to fade. But Sapa also has a shaman at his side: Ulluriaq, who channels spirit helpers to guide and protect Sapa on his quest to win Kaujak back. A visually stunning Arctic fairy tale by Zacharias Kunuk, a pioneer of Indigenous cinema.
