  • Plot: En 1952, Tivii, chasseur inuit atteint de tuberculose, quitte la Terre de Baffin et sa famille pour aller se faire soigner dans un sanatorium de Québec. Sans repères, ne comprenant pas le français, l'autochtone fugue mais est bientôt retrouvé dans une cabane, épuisé. De retour à l'hôpital, il refuse de s'alimenter et exprime son désir de mourir, ce que son médecin ne peut accepter.; Sommée de trouver un moyen de le faire manger, l'infirmière Carole décide de transférer au sanatorium Kaki, un orphelin inuit qui, ayant été élevé par des Blancs, peut servir d'interprète à Tivii. Au contact du jeune garçon, le chasseur reprend goût à la vie et guérit peu à peu. Il en vient alors à caresser le projet d'adopter Kaki, afin de lui redonner un foyer ancré dans sa culture d'origine.; ; ; What does a human being need to live?; ; The film uses the 1950s-era tuberculosis epidemic in the Far North as its starting point. The spread of the disease forced many Inuit to go to various Canadian cities for treatment. Tivii is taken to a sanatorium in Quebec City. Uprooted, far from his loved ones and faced with a completely alien world, he finds himself unable to communicate with anyone.; ; When his nurse, Carole (Éveline Gélinas) realizes that Tivii’s illness is not the most serious threat to his well-being, she arranges to have a young orphan, Kaki, transferred to the institution. The boy is also sick, but has experience of both worlds and speaks both languages. By sharing his culture with Kaki and opening it up to others, Tivii rediscovers his pride and energy. Ultimately he also rediscovers hope through a plan to adopt Kaki, bring him home and make him part of his family.
