After trauma in Igloolik, Uyarak moves to Montreal, leaving her Nunavut family. COVID - 19 lockdown separate her from sister Saqpinak. Reality blends with fiction as directors Tulugarjuk and Kunnuk play the sisters. After experiencing a traumatic event in Igloolik (an Inuit hamlet in Foxe Basin, Qikiqtaaluk Region in Nunavut), Uyarak leaves her community and family in Nunavut to live in Montréal. When Covid-19 lockdowns close off the Canadian Arctic from the rest of the world, Uyarak is further separated from her closest friend, eldest sister, Saqpinak. This extreme situation blurs the lines of both the fictional lives of the sisters, and the non-fiction lives of the film's directors, Lucy Tulugarjuk and Carol Kunnuk, who play the sisters.
