Description

A gorgeous Arctic fairy tale from Zacharias Kunuk, director of Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner

Uiksaringitara (Wrong Husband)

Dir: Zacharias Kunuk · 100 min · NL

Igloolik, Nunavut, 2000 BCE. Teenage lovers Kaujak (Theresia Kappianaq) and Sapa (Haiden Angutimarik) were promised to each other at birth. After the sudden death of Kaujak’s father, her mother marries a man from another camp, tearing the two apart. The promise of a better life quickly turns to a nightmare, with aggressive suitors backed by an evil shaman vying to win Kaujak’s hand. But Kaujak holds onto hope that Sapa will one day make things right. A visually stunning Arctic fairy tale by Zacharias Kunuk, legendary Canadian filmmaker and pioneer of Indigenous cinema. Winner of Best Canadian Film at TIFF 2025.
