Ruth Sangria is the last survivor of the village of Qarmaarjuit who, in 1943, saw 24 people, more than half of her community, die in strange circumstances. More than half a century later, Ruth, accompanied by Elisapie, a member of the family who collected her at the time, returns to the scene of the tragedy, in the heart of Baffin Island, in the Canadian Far North.
