- Wow!
Mmm!
These pancakes are
So Yummy!
(bun squeals)
yes!
- (neevee) good job, bun.
- Good morning.
You want to try some
really delicious pancakes?
(siaja sighs)
- I gotta have my coffee first.
- (whispers) coward.
(neevee laughs)
- You two look cozy.
What is this,
Five nights in a row?
- (bun) ahem! Six.
- Six? Like
Atausiq, marruuq,
Pingasut, tisamat, tallimat,
Pingasuujuqtut, six!?
- Ata. Make your coffee.
- Grandpa can always sleep over!
- Aww, you know what?
For these pancakes,
I'd do anything.
- Like choose
ice cove as the site
For the new
polar research station?
- Once again, not my decision.
But, you know, technically,
I am an independent contractor,
So I could probably stay on
no matter what town they choose.
- For how long?
- Uh
Well, that's something that
we could figure out together.
- I mean, you could
stick around. Why not?
- Really?
- Siaja! Stop staring.
(upbeat electronic music)
- I love it!
Looking good, (inuktut word)!
- Thank you, siaja!
- Thanks, mikey.
(speaking inuktut)
- (french accent) do you
like my work?
- Hi. Uh
Are these yours?
- Oui. I'm always inspired
by the north.
(speaking french)
- Siaja.
(speaking french)
- Siaja Your name,
it make me think
Of a song I learned once.
Maybe I could play
it for you sometime.
(siaja giggles)
- Olivier, these photographs
are magnifique.
I see you've met my assistant.
- Bonjour.
- Yes.
- Olivier lives on the land
For half the year
with his dog team,
But his images are timeless.
- Merci, helen.
But you know, it's easy
when everywhere you turn
There is such beauty.
- (helen) oh! Ho-ho-ho.
Oh-ho-ho
Wonderful. Um
Can I talk to you in my office?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- (helen) he's a little intense.
- Am I in trouble?
- I'll say.
Because you and I are
about to be spending
A lot more time together.
You're off probation,
congratulations!
- Oh, my god, really?
- Yay! Bubbles for us!
- Oh.
- So
Here is to a prosperous
And productive future together.
- Mmhm. Isn't it
a little early to be drinking?
- Silly girl,
champagne doesn't count!
Cheers.
(siaja chuckles)
So, any plans
on how to celebrate
This momentous occasion?
- Well, I just found out about
it three seconds ago, so
- But if you could spend
time with somebody,
Is there anyone
that you're interested in?
You're young, you're attractive,
your skin's really cleared up.
There's gotta be someone
you're crushing on.
Like, maybe someone who has
a certain je ne sais quoi.
(rhythmic relaxed music)
- Uh No, nope. Mm-mm.
- All right, well,
as my mother always said,
Don't get too long in the tooth.
More champagne?
- Thanks, but only white people
Can get away
with drinking on the job.
- Oh, I love that you feel
safe enough to make
White people jokes around me.
(helen laughs and snorts)
- Uh, nalajoss, your mom
wants you to go home.
Your lunch is getting cold.
- Hey.
Do you think I'm getting
long in the tooth?
- Yeah, we've been thinking
of putting you down.
- What the hell are
you talking about?
- Helen's asking about
my love life.
- Gross.
- That's fully illegal.
- Right? It's weird timing,
though, because
I've been, like, having
these dreams lately.
(millie gasps)
- sex dreams?
- That's your subconscious
telling you to get boned.
- I don't know.
It's probably too soon, right?
- You just got out
of a not-awesome marriage.
You deserve to lose
your second virginity.
- Oh, so much better than losing
your first virginity,
Like, amateur to professional.
- I know everyone in this town.
Where would I even start?
- Let's check out
your options.
Here.
- You already had this open?
- Nope. Okay.
Nope. Ew!
No. God, no.
- Ooh, eskimo fetish much?
He'll be eager to please.
(millie laughs)
- oh, he's married!
- She's married!
- (all three) ew!
- Hard pass.
- Okay, well you're
gonna have to move.
- What about kuuk?
- What about kuuk?
- You're both recently single.
You're not related.
You play chess with him.
- Yeah, because he's, like,
the only worthy opponent.
It's kind of annoying, actually.
- She's looking for something
Low-stakes, a one-and-done
palate cleanser.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(gasps)
- I know what we need to do.
(announcer speaking
indistinctly)
- This feels a little predatory.
- You want something low stakes?
Most of the people
On these flights are
here for two weeks max.
- Yeah, just think of it
like tinder, but like irl.
- Yeah.
All right, let the show begin.
- Okay, there's some potential.
(rhythmic upbeat music)
- (colin) ah
- (all three) mormons.
- The fight
for native souls continues.
- What about that one?
- Mm
- Big skis.
- Nah, polar explorer.
- Right, he'll be more
interested in cold plunging
Than plunging siaja.
(millie and colin laugh)
- Hey, buddy! Go home.
We already explored everything.
(colin laughs)
- well, we tried, right?
- Holy inuk goddess alert
(rhythmic relaxed music)
She's coming over. Watch this.
- Oh, hi.
- Hi!
(speaking inuktut)
(whispery throat singing)
- It seemed practised, right?
- Yeah!
Like, rehearsed!
- Like she knew how to do it.
(man speaking french)
- Two time in one day.
I'm a lucky man.
- Oh, stop.
- I was hoping I would
see you again.
I have some, uh, portrait
of your beautiful culture.
I would love to show
you them sometime.
- Yeah. Um, yeah. Yeah.
- Perfect. I'll make
you dinner tomorrow night.
Then, you can tell me
if you like what you see.
- Yeah.
(hesitates)
You're not a vegetarian,
are you?
(drumming)
- Pure carnivore.
- Oh, you are gonna get fu--
(truck engine roars)
(lively acapella music)
(birds chirping)
(neevee giggles)
- You remember this place?
- Oh, yeah.
Isn't this where I gave you
Your first hand job?
- What?! No!
(neevee laughs)
It's where we had
our first kiss.
- Yeah, I know.
- Still so beautiful.
- Yeah.
- You know, I never
really stopped thinking
About us, neevee.
Is that crazy?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, huh?
- I thought of you, too.
(alistair sighs)
- so, uh
Why did you end it?
I've been wracking
my brain all these years,
Trying to figure it out.
- You were gonna leave anyway.
- What?
- That's just how
things work up here.
- I had no intention
of leaving, neevee.
- Is that why you
brought me up here?
To ambush me?
- No! Come on.
No, I'm not--I'm not
trying to attack you.
I'm not trying
to ambush you. I just
It's just
(alistair sighs)
Now that I know
that I got a daughter--
- (loudly) siaja is my daughter!
She doesn't belong
to any white man!
(neevee exhales sharply)
Just take me home.
(alistair sighs)
(engine stops)
(alistair sighs)
- I'm not gonna be
your punching bag, neevee.
How are we supposed to build
a new relationship
If you keep shutting me out?
- Who said we're
in a relationship?
(light pensive music)
- Hey. Freight finally came in.
- What is this shit?
- Turmeric, chili, chai.
- What kind of fancy store
do you think this is?
- Okay, what's going on
and why are you taking it out
On the chai?
-Neevee!
(neevee sighs)
- Alistair.
He asked why we broke up
all those years ago and
I--I panicked.
(speaking inuktut)
- What are you afraid of?
- You know what?
Enough of this crap.
From now on, there's
only three valid teas!
Earl grey, sleepy time,
and the one that makes you poop.
(funky rhythmic music)
- Hmm. Ooh, I know.
- Are you sure
you want to do that?
- What? Oh, this?
- Oh, my god!
You're so annoying!
- Oh. Well, you gotta keep your
eyes on what's in front of you.
- Okay, spare me the lecture.
- Hey, so you coming
to the bar tonight?
- Actually, um
I'm hanging out
with A guy.
- Hmm. So you're--
you're dating now?
- I don't know, it's
It's just dinner.
- Hmm.
- If I tell you something,
do you promise not to laugh?
- Mmhmm.
- I've never been
on a date before.
- How is that even possible?
- Well, ting and I got
together in high school.
- You never went on a date?
- Does prom count?
- Uh
- My mom went on a lot of dates,
but back then,
That meant downing a bottle
of vodka with a rando
And crashing her skidoo, so
- Maybe don't do that.
- Any tips?
- Okay. Yeah. Um
This is gonna be a little
cheesy, okay, but just
Just be you, you know?
You make things fun,
and you're a little weird
And unpredictable,
but, you know, you're smart,
And you care about people,
And you lit up
elders night and baseball,
And if this guy doesn't
see that, then he's a tool.
(soft rhythmic music)
- Thanks, man.
- (softly) yeah.
- Also
(kuuk clucks and sighs)
Checkmate.
- You play so dirty.
- "you gotta keep your eyes
On what's in front of you."
- Do I look like an idiot?
- Uh, where are you going?
- To dinner. With a guy.
It's casual.
He's a Esky humper,
So, don't make
a big deal out of it.
Do I look Stupid?
- Well, show more skin.
You look like a nun.
Right. I should have
expected that.
Hey, you good?
- Yeah, why?
- You seem Quiet.
No, I'm fine.
Hey.
I think it's cool
that you and alistair
Are giving each other
another chance.
All right, well, wish me luck.
(soft upbeat music)
You took all of these?

I'm very passionate
about your inuit culture.

What are you passionate about?

Funny, smart kid

over speakers)

- Whoa.
- Yeah.
I was with the french musher,
And I felt like
I was being colonized.
But turns out he's
more into dogs than women.
And then I realized something.
I realized I was kissing
the wrong person.
- My girlfriend's here.
- Girlfriend?
- She's not my real girlfriend.
She's my something.
Alexis is here.
I don't know, she flew in,
she just went to the bathroom,
And here she comes right now.
Hey, this is my friend.
- Oh, wow, siaja!
We were hoping you'd come.
It's honestly such a pleasure
to meet you.
- Alexis just, uh,
flew in to surprise me.
- Surprise!
- (softly) yeah
Not to be a baby, but is it
always this cold here?
- Pretty much.
- A little hot in here.
- Well, siaja, kuuk has told
me so much about you.
I'm so glad that he has
someone to play chess with.
Honestly, kuuk and I left
things on such a strange note.
I felt sick about it.
But I was visiting tibet
in my work as an ambassador.
- You're an ambassador?
- Oh, just a brand ambassador.
I'm not, like,
negotiating with nato.
Sorry, did someone
open a window?
Anyway, so I'm in tibet
at this buddhist tea ceremony
And I suddenly realized
that life is
So profoundly short.
- (slowly) yeah.
- And when you love someone,
You have to tell them
right away.
You know what I mean?
- Yeah, yeah.
I--I--definitely, heh, I
I, um I think
I ate some bad meat.
- Oh, no!
- Are you okay?
- There you are! Siaja,
I just got a call about ting.
He didn't come back
from hunting last night.
His mom just
Reported him missing.
(muffled speaking)
- (alexis) like, the chief?
- (kuuk) no, her husband.
Sort of husband.
(rythmic music)
