The film sequences show drum singing an old Eskimo combination of singing, dancing and drumbeating which modern influences have rendered practically extinct. The cast of the film includes Imîna, a renowned trapper from Siorapaluk, the northernmost settlement in the world, the trappers Inûteq and Magssanguaqssuag from Qânâq and their wives Arnaqpalâr and Ivalo.
