Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Niaqornat in North West Greenland has a population of 59. If the population falls below 50, the village will lose its Danish subsidies and risks being relocated to the nearest town. While the rest of the community pull together to try and re-open the fish-factory, Lars -- the only teenager in town -- plans his escape.
