Synopsis
In Montreal, three Inuit navigate life during a hot summer, reflecting on their past and present. Only two generations ago, their ancestors lived in nomadic hunting camps across the Arctic. Since the 1950s, many Inuit have relocated to government-run settlements, and now some have moved to southern cities. Qallunajatut (Urban Inuk) captures their experiences as they adapt to urban life while grappling with the legacy of their traditional culture. The film presents a stark contrast between their historical roots and contemporary challenges.
