What would you do if you were 16, lived in the most remote village in the world and were the only teenager? What would you do if your biological father lived next door, yet never acknowledged your existence? Lars is surprisingly upbeat about it and one of the four hardy inhabitants of Niagornat who provides the focus for this witty and compelling , documentary. Welcome to the world of high-speed internet and door to door sewage collection, of polar bear hunts and summer dips in the melting ocean. Ravishing cinematography establishes this icy location as the beautiful and unpredictable fifth character in this astutely constructed real-life drama.
