SYNOPSIS
A clumsy director experiments around the obscene act of filming inuits. There, Robert Peary, an American explorer, thought more than 100 years ago that the only way to reach the North Pole would be to have children with Inuit to create a super-race. In the footsteps of this extravagant theory walks this film essay in search of that “super-race”.
European premiere. With the presence of the director.
Why must you see it?
From Magalhães to Amundsen, from Livingstone to Captain Cook, the stories of all those explorers are legendary. Or overrated instead? Raúl Alaejos, a filmmaker from León, embarks on an adventure of anthropological experimentation at the North Pole.
Only in these strange wastelands will the legendary begin to thaw. With a shocking and sincere editing, with the honesty of the one who understands that he cannot understand, and with the humour that incomprehension offers, he will try to create a film
from the shocking North American explorer Robert Peary’s legacy.
