FAR NORTH
Dir: Asif Kapadia
(2007|89m|Dir: Asif Kapadia)
Set during an unspecified time and place in the last half of the 20 century, it tells of a woman and her adopted daughter, living in the Arctic tundra. The mother's voiceover explains early on that a shaman said she was cursed at birth and would bring harm to anyone she cared for. Flashback scenes reveal how this has previously affected her life. One day, the two women find an injured, starving soldier. They save him from certain death and emotions are stirred.
